How Beautiful Heaven Must Be
When we think of Heaven what do we think of?
Streets of gold?
Pearly gates?
The River of Life?
No more pain, no sickness, no tears?
All of these things will be great.
Some of them are coming later with the new Jerusalem and even then, many of these things represent something that is real.
So what will Heaven be like?
I think we are asking the wrong question.
It’s not the where and what we looking forward to - it’s the who that is important.
We can’t take anything with us into heaven except our relationships.
Our friends, our family, and God.
That’s what we need to be looking for.
A few days ago, we laid our brother Gerald Coleman to rest.
One of the last things he told me was he was ready to go be with Sue.
He was longing to be with her.
And now he is with her.
So what will those relationships be like?
Will Gerald and Sue be married?
Will I be my Granny’s Grandson?
The Bible is not real clear about those things, but we can get some things from scripture.
Let’s take a look.
Our Relationships
So the Sadducees, who were heavily influenced by Greek philosophy, come to Jesus with a question that they thought would stump him.
This question has to do with one of the laws that was given to Moses.
The idea is that if a man died, then his wife would go to his brother if they had been childless.
It was to provide for both the widow and the child.
It seems like a strange idea to us, but to them it made sense.
The point is not the law itself but whether or not there is a resurrection.
The Sadducees had reasoned themselves into this view that there is no heaven and there is no hell.
Everyone was just living for today.
We have these same type of people.
It’s starts off with things that aren’t as important and eventually the major tenants are eroded away.
This is a big problem for our faith.
We’ll come back to this idea later.
So Jesus answers the question by denying their assumptions.
He says that people in Heaven do not marry.
Think about this for a bit.
What is the purpose of marriage?
Procreation.
It’s to grow the population.
Remember that God told Adam to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.
So what would be the purpose of marriage in Heaven?
Does that mean that Cristy and I won’t have any kind of relationship in heaven?
Not at all.
Don’t read into what Jesus is saying here.
I think that we will take our relationships with us.
Although Cristy and I won’t be married any more in heaven, our relationship can only grow while there.
It will be even better because the things that cause issues now won’t be there.
Our biggest problem is the same problem that we all face.
Sin
Pain, sickness, death will all be gone.
All the things that get in the way will be gone.
Pride?- gone.
Anger?
gone.. Meanness?
gone.
And what ever is good in marriage will somehow be better.
Will we know each other?
I think so.
In Matthew 17 :1-13 tells us about an event that had happened not too long before this.
We call in the Transfiguration.
Elijah and Moses both appeared with Jesus.
The disciples that were there knew who they were.
I don’t know how, but they knew who they were.
There are times when I see someone and I don’t remember their name.
When we get to heaven, we will know them.
So let’s talk a little bit about ...
Our Resurrection
There are some things that we already mentioned that will be gone in Heaven: sickness, pain, death will all be gone.
Think back to what John saw in Revelation 21:1-21
What John saw is a comfort to me! How about you?
Now think about this: What do we have if there is no resurrection?
When Paul was talking about the resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15, he said this:
