What makes Heaven…Heaven?

For many of us, Heaven has been described in terms of what it looks like—streets of gold, gates of pearl, beauty beyond imagination. Others think first about the people they hope to see again. But when Jesus spoke about what was waiting for His people, He pointed to something even greater: “I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also” (John 14:3).

Heaven is ultimately about being with Him.

In the Season 2 finale of Scripture Matters, Jonathan and Cliff bring the entire season full circle. We have talked about freedom, marriage, forgiveness, unity, truth, the church, prayer, worship, peace, providence, faithfulness, and hope—but where is a life of trusting Christ actually leading?

Through passages including John 14, John 17, Revelation 21–22, 1 Corinthians 15, and Philippians 3, we consider the promise of resurrection, the defeat of death, the end of mourning and pain, and the incredible assurance that a life faithfully given to Christ is never wasted.

But Heaven is not merely something Christians wait for someday. If this really is where we are going—if we really will see His face—then that promise ought to shape the way we forgive, serve, worship, endure, love one another, and live right now.

After an entire season of asking why these things matter, we arrive at the destination toward which every one of them has been pointing.

Heaven Matters!
