Reflection - Thinking of Heaven - What Will Heaven Be Like

Source (book): "Growing Old Gracefully", Following Jesus to the End, Part V: THINKING OF HEAVEN, Chapter 31, "What Will Heaven Be Like?", Question 1, Page 206.
By Robert M. Solomon, Bishop of the Methodist Church in Singapore from 2000 - 2012

Christians think about heaven in many different ways. One of the questions people ask is: "What will we do in heaven?" Popular culture often depicts people in heaven as lazing around on clouds, leisurely playing their harps. This idea probably has biblical roots, for the book of Revelation does speak about clouds and harps (Revelation 5:8, 14:2, 14; 15:2). There is also the notion that we will all be one eternal choir praising God - just look at all the heavenly songs in Revelation. This usually begins as a great thought, especially for those who love singing, but after a while, even they ask, "But what else will we do in heaven?"


Discuss these with other Christians, and explore how our thoughts of heaven can be shaped by what Scripture teaches.
The problem is that we may be approaching the subject from the wrong angle. Even thoughts that begin with biblical passages can be hijacked by mindsets that are dominated by worldly culture. Yes, the Bible does speak about harps and clouds, and about heavenly singing. But if we see them as nothing more than actions or activities, then we have misunderstood what the Bible actually teaches.

Our problem is that we have become captive to a pragmatic (practical) way of thinking that has been absorbed into our way of life in every sphere. We have uncritically embraced utilitarianism. We therefore tend to measure ourselves by what we do or achieve, and judge others in the same way. This is reflected in every conceivable area of life. Take, for instance, going on holiday. We tend to be obsessed with what our holiday destination has to offer in terms of attractions. We are terrified by the thoughts of becoming bored with nothing to do. The problem is that we in the modern age tend to define ourselves by our "doing".

Those who see the inadequacy of such a perspective try to find a more satisfying basis - by exploring what was the dominant way of thinking in the pre-modern era. Then, the focus was more on being, rather than doing. We were defined by who we were rather than what we did. Thus, we have people who remind us today that we ought to focus on being rather than doing, that our Christian lives really have to do with who we become, rather than what we achieve. This is immediately helpful and a much-needed corrective in a culture infected by an activism that makes us run in meaningless circles. Let us stop and think about what sort of people we are, and are becoming.

Perhaps we can approach the question of heaven from this angle: asking what we will do is not as important as thinking about what we will be in heaven. However, even here, we will face limitations, for we know ourselves. The human condition, as pointed out by Thomas Oden, includes boredom (as well as anxiety and guilt). If we are left to ourselves, we will soon hit rock bottom and become bored. Just lock yourself in a room for a few weeks with nothing else to do and no one to talk to, and you will understand this.

This brings us to what the Bible really teaches. The biblical worldview is that we are defined not by what we do or achieve, and not even by who we are, but by whose we are. We are defined by who we are with. The core of existence is not doing or even being, but being with. That is why Jesus warns disciples that judgement will have to do with being with rather than doing per se (by itself) (Matthew 7:21-23).

Johnny Cash's song "No Earthly Good" contains a line that expresses a popular thought: "But you're so heavenly minded, you're no earthly good." It is possible for Christians to live in a way that does not connect the future heaven with the present earth. But C. S. Lewis helpfully reminds us that this is a false dichotomy (difference). Looking at the most effective Christians in history, he points out: "The Christians who did the most for the present world were just those who thought the most about the next." [108] Thinking about heaven will help us become involved with the world in a redemptive way.

This brings us to what the Bible really teaches. The biblical worldview is that we are defined not by what we do or achieve, and not even by who we are, but by whose we are. We are defined by who we are with. The core of existence is not doing or even being, but being with. That is why Jesus warns disciples that judgement will have to do with being with rather than doing per se (by itself) (Matthew 7:21-23).
