The hope of our lives is not Heaven. It’s Jesus. Heaven only matters because He’s there! Heaven is only our home, because he’s there, and he’s our home! Remember…he says I go to my father's house I'm going to come back, and I'm going to take you to myself. So, he's saying what makes the father's house the father's house is that the father is there. The house…heaven…eternity is nothing without him…
