Are You Headed to Heaven? (8 of 8)
Series: Heaven

Revelation 22:6-21

This morning, we conclude our series entitled, Heaven. We have taken several weeks to study the last two chapters of the book of Revelation.

Through this series, maybe I haven’t answered all of your questions, dealt with all of your uncertainties or completely satisfied your curiosity. But I hope that through these messages God has created a longing in your heart for heaven. I may not preach in such a way as to answer all of your questions, but I hoped I’ve preached in such a way that ignites a passion in your heart to be there.

Heaven is more than a destination; it’s a motivation. Knowing that we will dwell in the heavenly city ought to make a difference in our lives here and now. The assurance of heaven doesn’t lull us into complacency or carelessness, but spur us to fulfill our spiritual duties.

*Albert Einstein was traveling from Princeton on a train. When the conductor came down the aisle punching tickets Einstein reached in his vest pocket; he could not find his ticket, so he reached in his trouser pockets. It wasn’t there so he looked in his briefcase, but still could not find it. He looked in the seat next to him, but it was not there. The conductor kindly said, “Dr. Einstein, I know who you are, we all know who you are. I’m sure you bought a ticket, don’t worry about it.” The conductor then continued on his way punching tickets. Just before he went to the next car he turned around and saw the great scientist on his hands and knees looking under his seat for his ticket. The conductor rushed back and said, “Dr. Einstein, Dr. Einstein, don’t worry. I know who you are. No problem. You don’t need a ticket.” Einstein said, “Young man, I too know who I am. What I don’t know is where I am going.”*[1]
