DOES HEAVEN REALLY EXIST?

The skeptic Bertrand Russell said that heaven was just a "metaphysical superstition." Other non-believers have said that heaven is not supported by science, just a condition of life, a figment of our imagination, or simply a state of mind. But I believe that heaven is real. I believe so because of the testimony of Jesus Christ. Who better to ask than Him?
After all, He came from heaven and returned to heaven.
Q - "Jesus, is there a place called heaven?"
A - "In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also"
(John 14:2, 3 NKJV).
We have it on the highest authority that heaven exists. If it were not so He would have told us. Poor Bertrand Russell. He said, "I believe that when I die I shall rot and nothing of my former existence shall remain." I say "rot." I believe that when I shall die I shall exit this earth and go to be with Christ who said, "that where I am, there you may be also." There I will be reunited with my loved ones who have died in Christ, and the saved of all the ages. World, you can have your crime-infested cities and sin-saturated Hollywood Babylon - I choose Heaven!
Hymn: "Beyond the sunset, O glad reunion, with our dear loved ones who've gone before; in that fair homeland we'll know no parting; beyond the sunset forevermore" (Virgil & Blanch Brock).
