Hope and Change, God’s Way Hope and Change, God’s Way Lesson 7 2 Corinthians 4:11 – 5:10; 12:1-10 The Hope of Heaven: Heaven According to Paul May 16, 2010

I.Introduction to Lesson 7 A.Man overboard on Blake Island B.“After death experience” – 204 books listed by Amazon.com C.If anyone could tell us about heaven, you would think it would be the apostle Paul. D.And yet Paul is strangely tight-lipped on the subject. E.We would do well to ponder Paul’s words on heaven F.Our approach

II.Paul’s Near Death Experience A.Stoned at Lystra (Acts 14:8-20) 1.The miracle at Lystra – lame man walks 2.False worship (of Barnabas & Paul) 3.Jewish opposition 4.Stoning, left for dead 5.Paul arose and entered the city 6.Observations a.Brevity of the account b.Non-sensational account c.Paul’s courage d.This is early in Paul’s ministry

B.A Vision of Heaven (2 Corinthians 12:1-10) 1.Context 2.In the third heaven 3.Why Paul can’t talk 4.The danger of “revelations” (Lamentations 2:14; Colossians 2:18-19) 5.God’s cure – a thorn in the flesh 6.Why Paul does talk a.To encourage the persecuted b.To correct error 7.Lesson to be learned: caution about accepting near death accounts as authoritative.

III.A Look at Some Other Key Texts A.1 Corinthians 15 B.1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 C.1 Corinthians 3:10-16; 2 Timothy 4:1-8 D.Romans 8:18-25 E.2 Thessalonians 1:6-10 F.2 Corinthians 4:7—5:10

IV.Conclusion – How Then Should We Live? A.To Paul, heaven is being in the presence of the Lord, glorifying God; hell is spending eternity away from His presence (2 Thessalonians 1:5- 12). B.In presenting the gospel, don’t promise heaven on earth – we enter the kingdom of God through much tribulation (Acts 14:22; 2 Corinthians 2:17; 4:2). C.When you think about those you will meet in heaven, think of those you may have helped to trust in Christ as your joy and reward (2 Corinthians 4:7-15; 1 Thessalonians 2:19).
