John Mulligan sketched a clear, hope-filled picture of our life in heaven so we don’t cling to the temporary. Scripture shows what we’ll do and where we’ll be. What’s sown perishable will be raised imperishable; our future is victory, not vagueness (1 Cor 15:57; 15:42–44).
What we’ll do: Heaven is not floating on clouds. It’s the joyful rhythm of praise, rest, service, and reigning. A countless multitude worships before the throne—“Salvation belongs to our God” (Rev 7:9–12). The battle with sin ends; we rest from our labors (Rev 14:13). As a kingdom of priests, we serve God (Rev 5:10) and reign with Christ—endless, God-given triumph (Rev 20:4; 22:5). Every tear wiped away, no more hunger, thirst, scorching heat—only the Shepherd leading us to living water (Rev 7:15–17).
Where we’ll be: Home with the Lord. Paul longs to “depart and be with Christ” (Phil 1:23; 2 Cor 5:8). At His return we’ll be “with the Lord forever” (1 Thess 4:17). Revelation anchors the hope: God dwells with His people, removes death and pain (Rev 21:1–4), and we see His face; His light fills our forever (Rev 22:1–5). Let that future shape today: hold fast, keep serving, keep repenting—don’t trade eternal joy for momentary trinkets. We’re marching to Zion; our home is with our God.
