“Happy Reunion”

Sunday, February 10, 2013

     I understand that we know each other once we get to heaven.  But do we get to be together?  When my mother dies, and then when I die and am saved and join her up there, will we be around each other?  There are no relationships there, but I'll still remember she was my mother on Earth and want to be around her, right?

Sincerely,
Sweet Child Of Hers

Dear Sweet Child Of Hers,

We don’t know for sure how much interaction we will have with others in heaven, but the Bible seems to point toward us being able to spend quite a bit of time together.  1 Thess 4:17 talks about us being caught up together and forever being with the Lord after the Judgment Day.  Also, Rev 21 compares heaven to a giant, perfect, eternal city where people come in and out and move freely amongst each other and the Lord… this also points toward the idea of us spending time with each other constantly.

The fact is that we don’t know much about heaven; God hasn’t given us many details, but the Scriptures seem to paint a picture of heaven being somewhere that we all freely enjoy company with the Lord and one another.
