Notes: 1. Departed saints live in the same wonderful place as Christ A. Christ in Heaven still has a human nature B. Heaven is a place C. Angels are in Heaven D. Departed saints are in Heaven E. We who are saved will be in Heaven 2. The souls of saints in Heaven have an unhindered sight of Jesus Christ A. When absent from friends, we can only think about them B. "But then we shall see Him face to face" C. Those in Heaven see Him "as He is" 3. Departed saints become perfectly like Him by seeing Him 4. Departed saints enjoy a glorious and immediate closeness with Him A. Departed saints are present with the Lord B. But His glorious state won't intimidate them C. Reasons with His majesty won't intimidate them #bricklanecommunitychurch #bricklanechurch #elverson #pennsylvania #worship #sermon
