John 11:1-16; Revelation 21:1-8

Listening to some people talk about the afterlife you get the idea that they are hoping for something like Arizona – better weather and better company. Or if you get them talking long enough you will hear them desiring that the afterlife will bring them things they could not afford during their lifetimes (Gold plated mansions). Even worse is the idea of heaven as one long worship service that goes on and on and on and on … for eternity!
