Advent: What Will Heaven be Like?
When you think of Heaven, what comes to mind? What does it look like? What do YOU look like? If you picture yourself with wings and supermodel looks, flying above clouds and eating chocolate all day, you might be surprised. The Bible seems to paint a very different, and somewhat more familiar scene. We will likely look like ourselves, and the world around us will likely look and work similar to how it does now, minus the effects of sin. The reality the Bible points to is that God's creation isn't something He's looking to abandon, but rather something He's planning to transform, redeem and cleanse. And this is so much better than misty, ethereal bodies and 24hr harp music! (Nothing against harp music!) We will get to see and experience God's creation, minus the curse, with bodies and minds not hindered by sin, sorrow and sadness. It will be so much more and better than we can ever imagine!
