What will heaven be like?
October 23rd, 2006
Many people have differing ideas of what heaven will be like. Some say we will be floating on clouds and we will have angels wings. Other people hold the view that it will be like this world, but without the sin and sufferings. While the Bible does give us some sneak previews of what heaven will be like, it doesn’t give us the full picture.
Recently I was listening to a CD by the band Mercy Me titled Almost There. As I listened through the songs, the last song “In You” really spoke to me in the chorus. The words read, “In You where the hungry feast at the table. The blind frozen by the colours in view. The lame will dance, they’ll dance for they are able. And the weary find rest, Oh the weary find rest in You”.
This simple song probably gave me the clearest and simplest picture of what heaven will be like. Heaven will be a place where all sufferings and trouble will be gone. We will have enough food, we will have perfect bodies with no flaws or diseases and we will find perfect rest and peace from the struggles of this life. The song doesn’t mention the surroundings, but if we have those things mentioned…we probably won’t be too concerned about the surroundings!
