Heaven (The place of everlasting paradise) Part 7

INTRO: In our last message we took a closer look at John 14:1-4. We suggested that we might learn some of what believers do in heaven after they die, but before they are resurrected if we could find out exactly where they go. Well, from John 14 we learned that believers go to a place prepared for them by Jesus at His Father's house.

I suggested to you in the last message that Jesus' Father's house in heaven is a place of unbelievable splendor. The temple Solomon built will have been indescribably beautiful. The temple Herod built was a building of extraordinary beauty. John 2:20 tells us it took 46 years to build Herod's temple and the Jews of that time said that he who has not seen it has never seen a real building. If such be the case of a building that is only a replica of the one in heaven, what do you suppose the one in heaven looks like? It is the government building of the universe!
