Last week we gazed at a very attractive--and surprisingly familiar--picture of our eternal home, and my guess is that it reduced your apprehension and heightened your anticipation of heaven.
But did I tell you that our trip to the new heaven and new earth is not a nonstop flight? No? Sorry about that. But no worries--the two layovers that are part of our post-death journey are both better than you can imagine, too.
This Sunday, we will learn what we can expect to enjoy immediately after we die (if Jesus doesn't return first), and what the thousand-plus years between then and the unveiling of the new heaven and new earth will be like.
