Hey everybody, Erica here with Team Lucado.

Wanted to share some exciting news with you all, Max's brand new book you were made for this moment.

Inspired by the timeless and timely story of Esther is available now wherever books are sold.

Hi everybody. Max Lakato here from my home to yours.

Thanks so much for joining me for today's encouraging word.

God bless you today. God bless you today. Wherever you are, you're going to have a good day in the

name of Jesus Christ. We're looking at the greatest verse in the Bible, John 3 and

verse 16. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in

him shall not perish, but have eternal life. I'm so happy today to talk to you and discuss with you eternal life.

Maybe these adjectives describe your view of heaven, unfamiliar, foreign, disembodied,

nothing to do, no time, no space.

Maybe you anticipate a spiritual heaven that is endwelt by intangible spirits and a misty terrain.

If so, you're probably not too excited about it, are you? So let me challenge some preconceptions

that we tend to have about heaven. Let me do so with a couple of

questions. Question number one, is heaven non-Earth? Is heaven non-Earth? In other words, well,

God abandon this planet. And I would ask, why would he? Why would he? I mean, he graded the heavens

and the earth with a plus.

Remember in the book of Genesis? He called them very good. Everything was very good. He never

renounced his work. Quite the opposite, quite the contrary. He pledged to restore it. He said,

Behold, I will create a new heaven and I will create a new earth.

That's Isaiah 65 in verse 17.

So I would suggest that God's heavenly hope contains an earthly dimension.
