I dunno about you, but heaven can seem pretty distant and abstract sometimes. I mean, we all love the IDEA and we all want some sort of fulfilment and meaning to our LIVES, but the version of HEAVEN we hear a lot about in RELIGION is often QUAINT at best. And at worst? INACCESSIBLE.
Jesus tells four PARABLES to give us a picture of HEAVEN that is much closer, more REAL and, dare I say it, more ATTRACTIVE than anything I could imagine or desire.
This is another OLD ONE from the archives, a sermon/blog I wrote 11 years ago. Hopefully, it's still fresh TODAY.
