What About 'Heaven Is For Real'?
by
Pastor Ricky Kurth
As the Lord said, “no man hath ascended up to
heaven” (John 3:13). We know that later, when Paul was stoned
to death (Acts 14:19), he was “caught up to the third heaven”
(II Corinthians 12:2), but this was so he could continue to “come to
visions and revelations of the Lord” (v. 1). Now that the
Bible is complete, there is no need of any further revelations
from God, and so there is no need for anyone to be caught up to
heaven and return.
The only reliable information about heaven is found
in God’s Word. After describing the vision of the kingdom
of heaven that the Lord gave him, Peter added that the Word of
God was “more sure” than what he had seen with his own eyes
(II Petter 1:16-19).
It’s tempting to think that this boy’s
experience will persuade people to believe, but Abraham was
right: “if they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will
they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead” (Luke
16:31).
