Sermon Outline:
Revelation 21:1–2 (NKJV)
1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.
2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Revelation 22:1–5 (NKJV)
1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.
4 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.
5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

III Joy forever
Would you know what makes heaven heaven?
It is communion with God.
And would you know what makes hell hell?
It is to be forsaken of God.
R. B. Kuiper
Here, joy begins to enter into us;
there, we enter into joy.

The Christian’s heaven is to be with Christ, for we shall be
like him when we see him as he is.
