WORSHIP & WORSHIP

24/7 WORSHIP?!

HEAVEN & ETERNITY #2

Worship will surely be an important component of Heaven and Eternity.  But will the afterlife consist purely of songs and music and dances… 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?!  Like a never-ending worship service?!

The above is a sentimental thought, especially for those of us who love music and who really enjoy Praise & Worship.  But I think Heaven and Eternity will most certainly not be a 24/7 Praise & Worship Service.  According to the Scriptures, it seems that one of the believers’ main pre-occupation in the afterlife will be to reign with Christ and to serve Him (Rev 22:3-5).  And, I am quite sure that reigning with Christ and serving Him would entail a whole lot of things to do…

In addition, I think perhaps we could project what Heaven & Eternity could be like but thinking about how Adam and Eve (Gen 1:28) would probably live today, should they have not fallen into sin then…

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.
