Alcorn turns from work to worship and from activity to rest, arguing that both will be richer on the New Earth than we have ever experienced — because we will finally be fully present to God and to one another.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Alcorn argues that worship on the New Earth will not be a scheduled event we attend but the atmosphere we breathe — every moment of every activity infused with praise and gratitude. How does this differ from the way you typically experience worship now, and what is standing in the way of that kind of integration?
2.Alcorn points to Revelation 4–5 as a picture of the kind of worship that will characterize heaven — spontaneous, overwhelmed, face-down adoration at the sight of God's glory. When have you experienced a foretaste of this kind of worship? What conditions allowed it?
a.Alcorn argues that our capacity for worship will grow rather than plateau in eternity — that God is inexhaustible and so our wonder will never reach its ceiling. Does this excite you? Does it stretch your imagination?
b.What does it say about God that He can be the object of infinite, never-boring worship?
3.Alcorn makes a strong case that we will continue to *learn* in eternity — that our minds will not be omniscient on day one but will grow in knowledge forever. He points to God's infinite mind as the inexhaustible curriculum. How does this reframe what it means to be a student or a curious person right now?
