Where I am you will also be.

Where I am You will also be. When asked about heaven I hear almost no one quote this verse, but it is the reality of our eternity. Jesus explains to His disciples that being with Him is Heaven. Being in Christ enjoying the love and fellowship of the Trinity is the only all satisfying reality that could hope to hold our attention for eternity,

Think about eternity. Doing any thing or any number of things for eternity. The culmination of your earthly experinces would eventually get boring. Heaven only escapes being a devine torment in that it promises the infinite ability to be interesting or satisfying. Being with the infinitly satisfying God is our only hope to not falling into dispair.

Hell's infinite nature conversly makes it threatening. Tim Keller encourages an audience to think of the worst part of themselves having for ever to cultivate and isolate. Heaven is Jesus forever, hell is us forever. The same people who have had either 6000 years of millions of years to think up new ways to torture each other will get eternty to continue this unbroken streak of attrocity against fellow man unless redeemed from the outside.

Look to the map! "I am the way the truth and the light," He promises. The only way to the father. Cling to that promise or cling to despair those are our options. Unless you truely believe we can self invent something that is all satisfying for eternity? Excuse me if I am a skeptic.
