  • 3 reasons why heaven is better

3) The Good News about Resurrection, 37-38

4) Sad, U See: Because they heard the truth and didn’t repent, 39-40

Reflection questions:

1) Do you ever find yourself thinking that heaven will be just like this life, only longer? Think about all the ways that heaven will be better than this life. Think about all the things you will no longer need in heaven.

2) If marriage is a picture of Christ’s love for the church (see Eph 5:32), then how is Christ a better husband than any earthly husband? Think of all your flaws in your earthly relationships, especially your relationship with your spouse, if you’re married; how is Christ a better, more faithful friend?

3) Why is the resurrection so important? Read 1 Cor. 15:13-19 where Paul writes to a church that had begun to doubt the truth of the resurrection.
