What Will We Be Like in Heaven? (3 of 5)
Series: A Little Bit of Heaven
Scott Maze
2 Corinthians 5:1-10
Imagine if a governing authority told you, you must travel on January 1 - no exceptions. Let's say you were given a one-way plane ticket where you can travel first class. Immediately you are excited but in the midst of your packing you pause to ask, ''Where am I going?'' If your free ticket entitles you a first class ride to North Korean prison camp, you'd probably prefer to stay home. But if you were given a first class plane ticket to Tahiti, your excitement and anticipation will be overwhelming. Just like the mandatory plane ticket, the question isn't, ''Am I going to live forever?'' but ''Where am I going to live forever?''
Throughout today's message, I'll be talking about departures, arrivals, customs, and passports. Find 2 Corinthians 5 and 1 Corinthians 15 with me. In the next few moments, I want to speak to you about what your life will look like in Heaven and how do you get from here to there.

1. How Should I Think About My Death?
As I speak this morning, my words are heard by a lady who has been diagnosed by cancer. She sits attentively with her husband as they seek to find solid ground on which to stand in their battle against this dreaded disease. A bereaved mother sits, as she looks on with only one remaining child. A couple we all know sit together as they have been doing so for some fifty years. As they sit together in church this morning they realize more than ever that their time is approaching. How will the one cope without the other?
Each of these individuals knows instinctively what most of us would rather push away from our mind: death. This is your departure for the Bible speaks of death being a one-way door into eternity. 2 Corinthians 5:1- ...
