This week we would like to try something a little different, a tag team message from both myself and Oldbiker. We would greatly value your response to how you like this approach. I will put who is (speaking) in parenthesis.

If We could peek into Heaven (John 14:1-6)
The bible doesn't give all the answers that we as mortals have about Heaven and Hell. I truly believe if we knew the joy and beauty of Heaven, we would not be happy here now. In the book of Revelation, Apostle John tried to describe Heaven the best he could. So, just for a few moments, let's take a peek into Heaven and see what we would see. We would see what God had intended for all people.

Man started in a Garden a beautiful place to live here on earth. God provided Adam with everything he needed including companionship. However, through Satan's temptation of Man Adam and Eve were driven out of the beautiful place that God had prepared for them because Man accepted Satan's lies.

Because of God's love for man, From the Genesis to Revelations, we see God developing a plan that would redeem fallen mankind. In the beginning Man was given a beautiful garden to live in (Gen. 2:15), then the book or Revelation closes with the redeemed again in a garden (Rev. 22:1-5).

If we could peek into Heaven we would see what God has in store for those that Love Him: (1 Cor. 2:9) Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people. (John 14:3)
Heaven is:
-More beautiful that anything we as man can comprehend or think of.
-A place of Perfect Holiness (Rev. 21:27)
- It is a place of Perfect Rest, Perfect Health, and a place of Perpetual Fellowship.

Life on this earth is hard because as Oldbiker stated so beautifully in his description of heaven, this isn't it! We aren't in a beautiful garden nor are we in a place beautiful beyond description. Here we haven't got perfect health and rest. Sometimes life can be so hard in fact that we don't even know if we can survive one more day. I have been in this place recently with unbearable back pain as intense as end stage labor. The week prior to this God showed me a song on the radio that totally captivated me called Revelation Song (link to song is in the comment section). I listened to this song for the whole week and felt like I had a tiniest taste of heaven from hearing it.

When the 2 days of intense pain hit and I couldn't move to get out of bed I had my laptop positioned next to me so all I had to do was push repeat and I kept listening to this song over and over. It was a way for me to focus on what was to come to be able to endure what was happening to me at the time. People have sometimes asked me how I survive the hard times and pain that come my way. My answer is simple I focus on Heaven and realize when I do that our lives here are just vapors in their duration. And Heaven is an eternity of bliss!

Is this what we want our unsaved friends to missed?

The unsaved will be shut out of Heaven and condemned to Hell (Matt. 25:41)
Did you ever stop to think that those who go to hell go there uninvited? Hell was prepared for the Devil and his angels--not for mankind.

Our unsaved friends will miss:
-The Beauty of Heaven
-The Blessedness of Heaven
-The Bonding in Heaven

We would see why Jesus was willing to die for the Lost of this world. Jesus was willing to come to earth, give His life as the only accepted atonement for our sins. He died to save us from Hell and to save us for Heaven. He died we might receive the Gift of Eternal Life so we can live in heaven Eternally with Jesus for all Eternity.

Missing Heaven is the Greatest Tragedy of Mankind.

People have often asked me "how long is Eternity" I answer them this way, which I hope most people can understand.
The earth as we know it is 25,000 miles around. If a little dove would fly around the circumference of the earth and, each time he completed this 25,000 mile trip, he would knock one grain of sand off the earth's surface. By the time this little dove has whittled the earth's size down to the size of a marble, eternity has just begun.

Friends, that's a very long time and, all of us that call ourselves Christians, should be trying to win as many as we can, to the Lord Jesus as their Savior and Lord.

When a person knows they are leaving for good they usually give those they love their most important words in parting. Jesus was no different in this. When Jesus was getting ready to ascend into heaven He told us these words:
Mark 16:15 "And He said unto them, Go you into all the world, and preach the gospel to all the creation."

Matthew 27:18-20 "And coming up Jesus talked with them, saying, All authority in Heaven and on earth was given to Me. Go then, disciple all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit; teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you. And, behold, I am with you all the days until the completion of the age."

Why? Because He loves us all (the whole world) so much that He died so we could spend forever, eternity, with Him. He wants us all there and He leaves us here for the purpose of doing what He asked us to do so more would want to join us. I will add another song that can be what we have to look forward to if we will accept Him at the end of Oldbikers invitation. If you don't know Him you can today. Message either myself, Oldbiker or PenguinPeru to guide you through the beginning of the best choice you can ever make for yourself.

Lost/unsaved friend-

Death is real and it is coming for you some day
Forgiveness is available and needed in your life
Salvation is a gift and is yours for the asking
Depending your choice of Jesus Promises or Satan's lies
Heaven or Hell will be your Eternal Destiny.

May God Bless and Use this message to further His Kingdom
