What is heaven like?

My Sunday SCripture 2010.11.7.



The Text: Luke 20:27-38

Some Sadducees -- those who argue that there is no resurrection -- approached him and they put this question to him,

'Master, Moses prescribed for us, if a man's married brother dies childless, the man must marry the widow to raise up children for his brother.

Well then, there were seven brothers; the first, having married a wife, died childless. The second and then the third married the widow. And the same with all seven, they died leaving no children. Finally the woman herself died. Now, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be, since she had been married to all seven?'

Jesus replied, 'The children of this world take wives and husbands, but those who are judged worthy of a place in the other world and in the resurrection from the dead do not marry because they can no longer die, for they are the same as the angels, and being children of the resurrection they are children of God.

And Moses himself implies that the dead rise again, in the passage about the bush where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.

Now he is God, not of the dead, but of the living; for to him everyone is alive.'

My Reading Notes:
------------------

The Scripture today has given us a clue: what is Heaven like? Do we still have marriage life or other every day life like earth in heaven?

Jesus has given us a hint:

That in heaven, every thing is not the same.

There might not be sex, or time, or life and death, or anything imaginable on earth. Heaven is a place we might be going, and only those who had been good can go there----or can reach that kind of feeling------, and those who can not reach to the same level might not be going. And that is heaven.
