WATCH A MOVIE?!

ORGANIZE A CONCERT?!

HEAVEN & ETERNITY #8

When we talk about TV and movie, we are actually talking about entertainment.  We have to admit that entertainment has become an indispensible and integrated part of life here on Earth.  We feel bored so easily, don’t we?  Then we reach out for the TV remote control…  Then we start surfing the various channels…  Or, we dip into our pocket to look for our smart phone…  Or, we look around the house to see who has taken the iPad…  Music, youtube, movie, games, FB…

But this posting about TV and movie is more than mere entertainment.  It is about The ARTS…  Will the arts continue to exist, even flourish in Heaven and Eternity?!

Will we still have guitars and pianos?  Will there be concerts?

Will we still have ballet?  Will there be dance performances?

Will we still have brushes and canvases?  Will there be art exhibitions?

           

Will people still compose songs, cut CDs, write dramas, make movies, and broadcast programs?!

Heaven and Eternity will be a long, long, long time to hang out with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit?  I do not think we should become bored so easily.  But still, it would be nice to be able to dance with the angels, to compose a new song with David, to work out a pantomime with Jeremiah, to discuss architecture with Nehemiah, and to study literature with Solomon.

And of course, some of us would really like to JAM with the LAMB, literally!!!

IMPORTANT NOTES:

I started thinking quite a lot about heaven a few years ago.  I read some books and listened to some messages.  There are really not too much materials on this subject.  And because of this, perhaps many Christians may have got seriously wrong ideas about Heaven.  I think Churches should be preaching and teaching more about Heaven.

This HEAVEN & ETERNITY Series is not meant to be a theological discourse.  My hope is to provoke us to be a little bit more heavenly minded.  Indeed there are many uncertainties and controversies… which should not lead to dismay but rather excitement.  It’s like the excitement of anticipating a vacation to an exotic country we have never been before.
