This is the finale of our series called Visions and Dreams, in which we looked at people in the Bible who had a vision or a dream, and what it meant to them. We then discussed what it might mean for us today, because we believe that God speaks through the language of dreams and visions. What better finale, than to focus on the final book in the Bible, the Book of Revelation, the finale of the Bible. It is a book recording the visions and dreams of one of Jesus Disciples, John, when he was in exile on the island of Patmos.

John records that one Lord's Day he got caught up in the spirit and he had a number of visions and dreams which he details in the Book of Revelations, He had a vision of the future where there's no more death, no more mourning, no more crying, and no more pain. Can you imagine a world without those things? That world is heaven.

When you think back through Jesus' life, all that he said and the miracles he performed were about the kingdom of heaven on earth. The whole of Jesus' life’s work was about heaven coming in the here and now. Jesus not only lived that life but he taught us to live that life and when he first taught the disciples to pray, he said pray your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.

Question: Inspired by Jesus, what are you doing to bring heaven to earth?
