This week concludes our topical study on heaven. Today Pastor Ron Lewis shows us around New Jerusalem a bit more as we see the “river of water of life,” and the “tree of life.” He explains what each of these are and then moves on to show us the privileges of the inhabitants of New Jerusalem.
Christians certainly are a blessed people! What awaits us in the final heaven is almost beyond words. There is such a great contrast from what we are used to here in this world, and when you get a glimpse of heaven you will never be the same.
Can you imagine living with the Almighty God who created the heavens and the earth? Oh, what lies ahead boggles my mind!
