Today we’re going to begin a tour of the most joyous, happy place you can imagine, heaven.

Saints and scholars from all walks of life have attempted to describe and explain it. And yet, I have to tell you, while many of these books have added to our understanding of heaven, most of them have been missing one key ingredient, fun.

C.S. Lewis once said that the serious business of heaven is joy.

Amidst all the deep theological discussions and amidst all the confusion of 21st century pop spirituality, we sometimes forget that. But I think it’s time we reminded ourselves.

And why not? Heaven is dynamic. It’s bursting with excitement and energy. It’s the ultimate playground, filled with more pleasure and joy and adventure than any vacation spot on earth.
