Hints about heaven
November 12, 2009
‘...I go to prepare a place for you.’ John 14:2 NKJV
When it comes to heaven, the Bible gives us just enough information to whet our appetite but not satisfy our curiosity. Here are three hints about heaven: (1) ‘…there shall be no more curse…’ (Revelation 22:3 NKJV) Unlike in Eden, Satan won’t be there to tempt us so we won’t stumble. We’ll be at our best-forever. Every good New Year’s resolution we’ve ever made will be a reality. (2) ‘God will wipe away every tear…there shall be no more death, nor sorrow…’ (Revelation 21:4 NKJV) No failing health, grieving hearts or broken homes. The ‘Uppertaker’ will put the undertaker out of business. (3) ‘…His servants shall serve Him.’ (Revelation 22:3 NKJV) What is service, if not productive work? Jesus said those who are faithful over few things now, will rule over many things then. In the first paradise God gave Adam and Eve responsibilities; will He do less in the next one? ‘Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end…’ (Isaiah 9:7 NKJV) God’s new world will be marked by ‘increase’. Increased planets? Increased colours, music? Seems likely. What does the Creator do but create? Will some of us serve then, in the capacity we serve now? Couldn’t earthly assignments hint at heavenly ones? One thing is for sure, you’ll love it: never weary, selfish or defeated; clear mind, tireless muscles and unhindered joy. Heaven is a perfect place of perfected people with our perfect Lord. And here’s the best part-Jesus promised: ‘When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.’ (John 14:3 NLT)
