Have you ever wondered what it will be like in heaven? Have you thought about the streets of gold? Do you wonder what the fruit of the tree of life will taste like? Have you thought about the beauty of the river of life? Have you wondered what you will look like?
We hear of the beauty of heaven. We hear it will be more beautiful than we can imagine. We hear there will be no more sorrow, no more tears, no more hatred, none of the evil things we experience on this earth. But we aren’t told much about how we will look.
The Apostle Paul takes on describing what we will look like…sort of. He tells us that today we bear the image of the man of dust, meaning being human. He goes on to say we will bear the image of the man of heaven, meaning Jesus. That doesn’t give us much information. It doesn’t tell us whether we will be six feet tall or ten feet tall. We don’t know what our facial features will look like. But does it matter?
I believe what we look will not matter to us. We will be rejoicing in the presence of God. Without all the negatives of living on this earth, our looks will be of no concern. We will live in a perfect place. We will be in the visible presence of God. We will feast with God. We will be filled with continual joy. We will be full of awe and wonder. What a wonderful place it will be.
I pray we all look forward to eternal life with God. I pray we do not worry what we will look like. I pray each one of us understand there will be no evil, only awe, wonder, and pure joy for eternity. Look forward to eternal life. Be in awe. Know there will be pure joy. Know you will see God always.
1 Corinthians 15:49 Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we will also bear the image of the man of heaven.
