Our Life In Heaven

Read: Revelation 22:1-5

There shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. --- Revelation 22:3

The Bible In One Year:
2 Samuel 3-5
Luke 14:25-35

The following words were inscribed on a gravestone: "Don't weep for me now, don't weep for me ever; for I'm going to do nothing forever and eve." Some people think heaven will be a boring place. Others, after years of exhausting work, look forward to doing nothing in heaven --- the ultimate retirement!

It's true that in heaven we will rest from earthly labors [Revelation 14:13], but it's not a place of inactivity. When John saw a vision of the New Jerusalem with the throne of God and the Lamb, and populated with God's redeemed people, he stated plainly, "His servants shall serve Him' [22:3].

If we know Christ as Savior, we will be raised up with resurrection power to serve Him in heaven. Never again will we serve Him half-heartedly and sporadically as we often do now. Instead, we'll serve enthusiastically and continually [7:15]. In unimaginable ways, we will be involved creatively with God without the agonies of decline and death [21:4]. We'll happily spend eternity basking in God's redeeming love and exploring endless pleasures at His right hand [Psalm 16:11].

Heaven certainly isn't a boring place with nothing to do --- it's a place where we'll see Christ's face and joyfully serve Him forever! --- Joanie Yoder

Face to face! O blissful moment!
Face to face --- to see and know;
Face to face with my Redeemer,
Jesus Christ, who loves me s. --- Breck

JESUS IS PREPARING A PLACE FOR US AND PREPARING US FOR THAT PLACE.
