Endgame Heaven Part 1 (4 of 5)
Series: Endgame
Steve Jones
Genesis
INTRODUCTION: On October 27, 2004, the Boston Red Sox won the World Series. Why was that significant? Because it was the first time for the Red Sox to win the series since 1918, finally vanquishing the so-called ''Curse of the what?'' The curse of the BAMBINO that had plagued them for 86 years. This misfortune began after the Red Sox sold star player Babe Ruth, sometimes nicknamed as ''The Bambino'', to the NY Yankees in the offseason of 1919-1920. Sometimes to fully understand the significance of a victory, you have to go back in time and understand the curse.
By the way, where do you find baseball in the Bible? Genesis 1:1 ''In the 'big inning' (BEGINNING)''. I don't think we can fully understand and appreciate the nature of Heaven unless we go back in time, all the way back to the beginning and the mother of all curses. That's what we're going to do today.
If you're new to us this morning we're in a sermon series entitled ENDGAME. We're doing out scripture work in Revelation. In previous messages we've covered: the ENDGAME has begun, the ''Mother of all ENDGAMES'', and ENDGAME judgment. Today it's all about Heaven. But in developing this message I realized that I needed to do this final message in two parts to do it justice.
Believe it or not, many people don't want to go to heaven, because they think it will be boring. That's what some of you think if you're honest. The traditional view of heaven that we will be disembodied spirits floating from cloud to cloud playing harps and singing in a never-ending church service just doesn't do it for a lot of people. Life here on Earth, as harsh as it can sometimes be, seems a lot more desirable than that. Well, there's a reason for that and by the time we're done this morning, you're going to know why.
