In this reflective exploration, Richard LaRocque delves into a thought-provoking question: Is our focus on God or merely on Heaven? In John 14:1-10, Jesus emphasizes that while Heaven is a place prepared for us, our true inquiry should center on our relationship with God. LaRocque challenges us to understand that the essence of faith lies in connecting with the Divine, which makes Heaven secondary. He reinforces that Jesus is the only way to this relationship, urging a shift from a mere dream of "happily ever after" to a profound understanding of faith and love.
