"Somewhere" is Heaven

100 Days of Preaching the Gospel #12 | with Daniel Whyte III

TEXT: Revelation 21 & 22:1-5

As we begin today, allow me to share with you this beautiful song sung by Barbra Streisand titled "Somewhere":

Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We’ll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere...
There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere


There's a time for us
Someday there'll be a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to learn, time to care
Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We’ll find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere... Somewhere... Somewhere...


There's a place for us
A time and a place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow...
Someday, somewhere...


The beautiful lyrics of this song call to mind a place of quiet and a place of peace. As a Christian, all I can think of is that place called Heaven. John MacArthur wrote a wonderful article about this place called Heaven. Allow me to share with you briefly some of his words.

"Heaven is a place more wonderful than we can ever begin to imagine. It is a place of joy and beauty, of peace and happiness that will never end.

"Heaven is also a place where there will be no sin or suffering, no sorrow or pain. It's a place where there will be no quarrels or disagreements, no disappointments or weeping -- because there will be nothing there to make us sad. And in heaven we will never do anything to displease God..."
