My college classmate, Piper, is right, I think. I see the eternal state as endless fascination and learning. There will be an infinite amount to learn and accomplish and it will be more satisfying than our biggest triumph in this life.
I can’t really accurately compare Heaven to anything; but I know it will be fascinating, always.
Read Johan Bojer’s short story - “Kari Aasen in Heaven” - exactly this question answered . . . in 1902 iirc!
Will we work in Heaven? I trust that we will and look forward to it. Meaningful work is stimulating and satisfying.
My job will be:
Rock Star.
I think that's the wrong word .to much negative connotation ..although I love work.
Let's say ... We'll have things to do. It won't be boring.
No. Wrong. In the Garden of Eden nobody worked.
These guys don’t even read the Bible.
I have often wondered if we are all children in heaven. I’ve always heard that while you’ll recognize your earthly spouse, you won’t have any romantic feelings for him/her. Personally, I think that it would be amazing to spend eternity as a child. You wake up everyday knowing that you are going to learn something new. There are no adult stresses or pressures (obviously, since it is Heaven).
Personally, I conceive of eternity as joining with the Holy Spirit, standing watch over mankind to advise, console and protect those that seek the Way. It will be work of unimaginable reward.
I’m not a fan of John Piper, but besides the point, I think he might want to find another subject to write about, I don’t think work is a subject people are going to get really excited about, I can see people running away from him and hiding just as he starts talking about work, maybe he could use a different word. (sarcasm alert). This is like a Baptist talking about Baptism in the middle of winter in a church that doesn’t have a Baptismal tank, and the norm is to go down to the river to get Baptized.
Don’t think I’ll worry about what a Calvinist thinks will happen in Heaven. I’m content to leave anything about what Heaven will be like in the Hands of God.
Who cares?
We’ll be perfect, there won’t be bosses, and Jesus will be there.
Waste of time question.
Someone once wrote of a vision she had, of women nurturing the souls (babies) that were aborted.
Will Christians work in Heaven? Rev. John Piper weighs in: 'We will not be disappointed"
"Will there be end users in heaven?", the IT tech asked apprehensively.
If there is work in Heaven, I want a big bonus every April.
I believe we’ll be busy, but we won’t consider it work.
