No Suffering in Heaven (5 of 12)
Series: A Closer Look at Heaven
Daniel Rodgers
Revelation 7:15-17; 21:3-4
INTRODUCTION:
1. I suppose there is not a person in this room-young or old, who has not suffered in one way or the other. If you are young, most likely your suffering has been slight.
a. If you are older, then you know that suffering seems to increase with age-both physically and emotionally. As we understand more and more about the heartaches and disappointments of life, pain and suffering begin to take their toll.
ILLUS: On Thursday, Kitty and I sat with the Linder Family, while Marv was having his angioplasty procedure. Marv's older brother was there.

My division (John speaking), the 106th Infantry Division, average age of 22 years, suffered 564 killed in action, 1,246 wounded and 7,001 missing in action at the end of the offensive. Most of these casualties occurred within the first three days of battle, when two of the division's three regiments were fo ...
