What can we expect in "Heaven"?

I can remember attending a bible study group, where individuals were asked what they were looking forward to when they reached “Heaven” (the Christian destination in the afterlife). One response remains in my memory. It is one word “Answers”. I suspect that many (including myself) have hopeful expectations of what “Heaven” will provide. Everlasting joy and peace perhaps; possibly a place of tranquillity where there is no pain or suffering. Yet these are hopeful expectations, we cannot be totally sure what awaits us. Answers are the only sure thing we can expect. And some answers may be surprising.

It is interesting to note that a friend of mine (who vehemently would deny any idea of God’s or Heaven’s existence) does not expect to receive answers as for him beyond this life there is only oblivion. However this position prompts me to ask questions such as the one I have placed in my blog profile “What’s the point of relationships if they end when we die?” Another would be to ask if we fulfil our human potential during our earthly life. (I expect to get the answers one day).

For myself I look forward to a great reunion in the afterlife, that one day I will be surrounded by those I love and care for past and present and what a joyful time that will be!!

I invite you to share yur thoughts

Shalom friends!!
