The Reality of Heaven - Part 2: Looking Forward to Heaven

Reliable Truth

Do you remember what happened on November 22nd 1963?

John F. Kennedy was assassinated on that day. C.S. Lewis also died on that day.

For the last two years of his life, C.S. Lewis suffered from very poor health. He knew that death was at hand, and yet anticipated it with cheerfulness and peace.

At one point he said, “If we really believe what we say we believe—if we really think that home is elsewhere and this life is a ‘wandering to find home,’ why should we not look forward to the arrival?”

Finally, a week before his death, Lewis shared these words with his brother Warren: “I have done all that I was sent into the world to do, and I am ready to go.” His brother re­marked that, “I have never seen death looked in the face so tranquilly.”

I share this because this can be a reality in each of our lives if we prepare for it.

We've been given a number of clues about heaven. A good place to start is to consider how we view Heaven versus how we view our Earthly life. >>Watch on YouTube
