CartoonMark Twain’s famous story of Huckleberry Finn tells of Miss Watson, a rather stodgy old fuddy-duddy.  She began to tell Huck Finn about heaven, and Huck later mused:  “She said … she was going to live so as to go to the good place.  Well, I couldn’t see no advantage in going where she was going, so I made up my mind I wouldn’t try for it.  But I never said so, because it would only make trouble and wouldn’t do no good.  Now she had got a start, and she went on and told me all about the good place.  She said all a body would have to do there was to go around all day long with a harp and sing, forever and ever.  So I didn’t think much of it.  But I never said so.”

Then I got to thinking:  If Heaven is boring it would have to be because God is boring.  That is utter nonsense.  Our desire for pleasure and the experience of joy come directly from God’s hand.

He made

  • our taste buds,
  • adrenaline,
  • sex and our sex drives,
  • our ability to laugh
  • our ability to appreciate beauty
  • the nerve endings that convey pleasure to our brains
  • joy
  • the feeling of exhilaration
  • our imagination..

Heaven is God’s home, the dwelling place of the One who is infinite in creativity, goodness, beauty, and power.  How could the home of someone like that be anything less than thrilling?  As Paul says, “No eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the human heart conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him” (1 Corinthians 2:9).

All secondary joys are derivative in nature.  They cannot be separated from God.  Flowers are beautiful for 1 reason – God is beautiful.

  • Rainbows are stunning because God is stunning.
  • Puppies are delightful because God is delightful.
  • Sports are fun because God is fun.
  • Study is rewarding because God is rewarding.
  • Work is fulfilling because God is fulfilling.
  • Every other joy will be derivative, flowing from the fountain of our relationship with God.

John Donne said, “No man ever saw God and lived. And yet, I shall not live till I see God.”

Or as Randy Alcorn puts it, “The day I die will be the best day I’ve ever lived.”

10 reasons why heaven will be a blast.

1  We get a new body

2 Corinthians 4:5 – talking about our bodies

“While we live in this earthly tent we groan with a feeling of oppression. It is not that we want to get rid of our earthly body but we want to have the heavenly one put on over us so that what is immortal will be transformed by life”

In heaven – won’t be mystical pieces of cloud, Spirit people, floating along. We will actually have a body. The limitations, sickness, disease hassled that we had with earthly bodies will be gone.

2  We get to live in a custom-built house.

John 14:1-3 Jesus says

“I go to prepare a place for you.”

Jesus has gone to prepare a place for us- custom-built house.

3  We get to eat great food.

Mathew 8:11

“I say to you that many will come from the east and the west and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven.”

Revelation 19:9

“And the angel said to me ‘Blessed are those that are invited to the wedding supper of the lamb.” And he answered – “These are the true words of God.”

Be there with relatives, friends, mates – awesome.   One big party in Heaven.

We will get to talk with Bible characters

Luke 9:30-31 gives us a peek:

“two men talked with him who were Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory …”

We will be able to chat to Bible characters and  famous Christians throughout history.

5  See and speak with our loved ones

1Thessalonians 4:13-17

“We who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the air and so we will be with the Lord forever.”

I reckon heaven will be blast just for fact can hang out with people we loved here on earth

6  We will get to live in a perfect world.

Genesis 1:31

“Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.”

The Bible says God gave Adam and Eve everything. Pleasant to the eyes, food good to eat, animals – Paradise.  If God created that here on earth, how much more awesome Heaven where God lives?  Heaven will be a blast – perfect environment, perfect world, just like Adam & Eve had in Garden of Eden – awesome.

7  There is going to be ‘NO More’s’

Revelation 7:16-17 says

“They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters.  And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

There will be no more hunger, thirst, scorching heat, tears, death, crying, no more bad guys and no more impure things.

8  Take part in awesome worship

Revelation 7:9 is one glimpse:

“I looked and behold a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues … All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God.”

The whole atmosphere in heaven is honour and worship.  Randy Alcorn, in his book simply titled Heaven, says, “Consider what it will be like to see the Masai of Kenya, the Dinka of Sudan, the Hmong, Athabaskans, Tibetans, Aucans, Icelanders, Macedonians, Moldovans, Moroccans, and Peruvians.  Hundreds of nations, thousands of people groups, will gather to worship Christ.  And many national and cultural distinctives, untouched by sin, will continue to the glory of God.”

9  No time in eternity

Revelation 22:5, the last Bible chapter notes:

“They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light.  And they shall reign forever and ever.”

We won’t be able to conceptualise time in heaven.  So my idea is that we will live all of eternity all at once as there will be no past and no future as there is no time.  That all at once moment lasts for all eternity.

10  We get to see God.

John 3:2

“Dear Friends, now we are children of God and what we be has not yet been made known, but we can know that when He appears, we shall be like Him for we shall see Him as He is.”

John 14:3

“And if I go I will prepare a place for you. I will come back and take you to be with me that you will also be where I am.”

I think heaven will be a blast just for that one reason alone – the fact that we get to hang out with God.

How do we get there?

John 14:6 – Jesus said

“I am the way, the truth and the light, no-one comes to the Father but through me.”

John 3:16 – Jesus said

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Me will not perish but have everlasting life.”

 Heaven is an incredible place.

WHERE WOULD YOU GO?

How confident are you that you would end up in heaven?

John 14:1-3 –
Heaven is a Place
Heaven is a Prepared Place
Heaven is a Prepared Place for Prepared People

From the Introduction

John was an eye-witness to the ministry of Jesus.  He belonged to the inner circle of disciples with his brother James and with Peter the natural leader.  John may have been the youngest of the disciples, uniquely remembered as the disciple whom Jesus loved.

J B Phillips concludes his translation of the closing verses in John’s Gospel this way:

All the above was written by an eye-witness.  Now it is this same disciple who is hereby giving his testimony to these things and has written the down.  We know that his testimony is reliable.  Of course, there are many other things which Jesus did, and I suppose that if each one were written down in detail, there would not be room in the whole world for all the books that would have to be written (21:24-25).

Throughout his gospel John assets that he was recording what he had seen and heard.  He states early in the Gospel that he with others witnessed the life  of Jesus the Christ, the Logos – the living Word of God.  He declares, “We beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father (1:14).

John describes how he was there at the crucifixion witnessing that stupendous, agonizing death, “And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe” (19:35).  Here again he underlines the main purpose of writing his Gospel as he does in his conclusion before the Appendix of Chapter 21:

And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name (20:30-31).

John’s purpose is evangelistic – “that you may believe”.   This book surveys John’s own approach to telling his story.

Section 1: Details exclusive to John, briefly surveys John’s unique account of Jesus’ life and ministry and focuses on his very personal record of the crucifixion and resurrection.

Section 2:  Study Outlines covers key passages in John’s Gospel compiled from relational Bible from the three books Kingdom Life in Matthew, Mark and Luke, which use common lectionary readings from John scattered through those three books.

John’s intimate, personal Gospel story transcends time and space to show us his living Lord, the Son of God, revealed in human flesh, living among us, full of grace and truth, “for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but  have everlasting life” (3:16).

Renewal Journal 10: Evangelism – PDF

 ______________________________

we can sort out a basic set of beliefs

______________________________

Evangelism these days isn’t always simple and straightforward.  Sometimes we mix with people of different traditions and in so doing it is possible to compromise the simplicity of the Gospel.  No one should be against co-operation between different fellowships, but that isn’t the point.  We must guard against a sort of ‘Jesus plus’ approach to evangelism.

Different fellowships may place emphasis on different aspects of what they perceive as truth.  If that particular emphasis dominates evangelism, or even if it is just an optional extra, it not only makes for a bending of the Gospel message, but a disunity among evangelists.  For this reason we should try to find a kind of nuclear Gospel; a message all can, indeed must, agree as basic.

What then are the essentials of the Christian faith?  There was a time when most Christians would recite their creeds weekly.  Pentecostals and many others, such as Baptists, tend to play down creeds as too binding.  Yet the church has always defended its basics from the very start.  The New Testament epistles spend a fair amount of time defending the faith.

I believe we can sort out a basic set of beliefs which should be regarded as binding on those who seek the proclaim the faith to a disbelieving world.

Some of us have encountered situations where a non-Christian is told, ‘Jesus loves you’ but where the reply gives the impression, ‘Anyway I’m a lovable person, so what?’  This is possible because no indication was given of any need, and no awareness of need was present.  Before it can be accepted, the Gospel needs both repentance and faith.

Not only can we add to the Gospel message.  We can also subtract from it by concentrating only on the love of God or of Jesus, according to the approach used.  This is another reason why we should have a minimum Gospel message.  We don’t want ‘Jesus plus’, but neither do we want ‘Jesus minus’.

Jesus makes no sense in terms of salvation unless he is known for who he is.  As a fellow human being he can do nothing for humanity unless he is greater than any human.  He has to be the God-man.  So we need to begin with God himself, his nature and power.  So what is the absolute minimum?

We can begin with the biblical declaration that

(1) God exists.  Two psalms declare that the fool says, ‘There’s no God’.  Yes, we need a superpower.  But then, he isn’t a mere outsider.

(2) He created us for himself.  And,

(3) he has rights as the Ruler of earth and its Judge.  In religious jargon, he is Lord.  That indeed was the challenge to Christians in a hostile world where Caesar was lord.

What does this have to do with Jesus Christ?  Well, Jesus made claims, so either he was lying or deluded, or else he was really God in human form.  This is where belief enters and where Jesus’ life and death become meaningful or else irrelevant.  The evangelist’s job is to show that those claims have urgent meaning for helpless people and truly,

(4) we do have needs.

(5) Jesus was incarnated supernaturally, and

(6) his coming was foretold in writing, the most permanent way of keeping records during most of history.

(7) He lived a sinless life, but yet,

(8) he willingly died a criminal’s death.  That doesn’t make sense unless he died for someone else.  So, if he was God in human form, as he claimed, he could then die for more than one person.

The record says he died for everyone.  So, everyone who

(9) sees their own disobedience, independence or superior attitude to God’s person and instructions, and who

(10) believes Jesus took the punishment appropriate to that deficiency, is forgiven and free.

Finally, God not only rules this planet but lives in eternity, where

(11) he has prepared a place fore those willing to have his as their Lord.  For those who reject God and his Son sent specially to save them, following the one who brought disobedience into human (and angel) lives,

(12) a place of eternal punishment is reserved.

The Holy Spirit is God’s Spirit, and

(13) he is personal,

(14) he convicts of sin, and

(16) he brings faith.

Pentecostals and charismatics agree that the Holy Spirit’s work in those evangelised includes but is also distinct from evangelism.  Signs and wonders, for instance, help confirm the Spirit’s work and the truth of God’s word.  Evangelism without the Spirit’s power is fruitless.

All these beliefs, including the unattractive ones, are found in creeds and statements of faith in major orthodox fellowships.  They’re not set out here as material for evangelism, but as tools or equipment for evangelists.  In sum they are:

* One God – creator, redeemer, and life-giver, three in one.

* One way to God – Jesus, who died, the just for the unjust.

* One way to escape from hell to heaven – repentance and faith.

* One way to know truth – through God’s Spirit revealing God’s word.

All Christians are called to be witnesses, though not all are called or gifted to be evangelists.  It is a real privilege for us all to share in God’s harvesting work in our world.
