In Revelation 22, John sees inside the heavenly city to come. Inside, he sees a paradise remade—echoing Eden yet surpassing it—where the river of life, the tree of life, and the throne of God and the Lamb reveal a world of unending joy, healing, and communion. These images are not mere fantasies but divine invitations to meditate on eternity, deepen faith, and fuel holy living, as the ultimate goal of the Christian life is to long for and be with Christ. The sermon calls believers to set their affections on things above, to find comfort and motivation in the hope of heaven, and to recognize that true spiritual maturity is marked by a heart that desires God above all else.
