Top 3 Bible Verses-What Heaven is NOT Like

Her family hears her call…

And follows her through the restaurant door…

Like a gaggle of goslings following Mama and Poppa Goose.

Sons and sons-in-law…

Daughters and daughters-in-law…

Grand children and grandparents…

Cousins and aunts and uncles.

25 hungry people!

Swarming around the room …

Fighting for a place to sit.

Hungry for all-you-can-eat chicken night!

The owner stops by our table…

“I’m glad they’re here,” he says…

“But I wish I’d known they were coming!”

The problem?

The restaurant seats 30 people…

And it was half full before the family of 25 arrived.

Family members looking for a seat line the walls…

Circle tables where chicken gobblers are trying to eat.

The chicken may be heavenly…

But the crush of people is not!

“Chicken Heaven?” one member of the family calls out…

Laughter fills the room.

Not exactly heaven!

Jesus says there will be no shortage of room in Heaven…

John 14:2

In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?

There will be no more disappointment or fear or pain…

Revelation 21:1-4

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

And God …

Will not be surprised when we show up…

John 3:16

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
