Who’s Your One Part 4: The Truth About Heaven Micaiah Irmler John 14:1-6 NKJV Heaven is not just where we are going but what keep us going. John 14:1-6 NKJV 1 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.” 5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Heaven is Our Hope that Anchors Us vs. 1-3 1 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. The hope of heaven doesn’t always calm our emotions but it does help us from getting carried away by them. Hope becomes the lens that helps you see beyond pain to promise, beyond loss to life, beyond tears to triumph. Heaven doesn’t just promise a better place — it gives you a better perspective. Hope is only as strong as the source it rests on — and Heaven’s promise rests on God’s Word, Christ’s work, and the Spirit’s witness. While Heaven is our Hope You should not hope you make it to Heaven.

Without Heaven’s roadmap, life becomes a maze; with Heaven’s roadmap, it becomes a . Remember: When Heaven is in your heart, it shows in your habits. Heaven isn’t only the finish line — it’s the framework for how we live, think, and move through life. Heaven is Our Home that Awaits Us vs. 2-3 1 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.” 5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” Quote: If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world. ~C.
