“Finding Family”

Thursday, April 18, 2013

When we get to heaven will we know family members that we did not meet on earth, for example will we know members of our family that were deceased before we were born, will they know our kids, etc.?

Sincerely,
Family Matters

Dear Family Matters,

We will definitely know one another in heaven. In fact, if the transfiguration is any indication, we will know everyone in heaven, not just those we have known in this life. When Jesus was transfigured on the Mount of Olives, both Moses and Elijah appeared and talked to Christ (Lk 9:30). The remarkable thing is that Peter recognized both of those men even though they had been dead for many centuries (Lk 9:32-33).
