Will Heaven be an eternal worship service, a permanent vacation, or something else entirely? Burke dismantles the boring picture and replaces it with something far more exciting.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Burke argues that the idea of sitting on clouds playing harps forever is not biblical — it's a cultural caricature. Before reading this chapter, what was your default picture of what people *do* in Heaven? Where did it come from?
2.Revelation 22:3 says that God's servants 'will serve him' in the New Creation. The word 'serve' implies purposeful activity. What kinds of work or service do you imagine Heaven might involve, based on both Scripture and the NDE accounts Burke presents?
3.Burke draws on the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14–30), where faithful servants are given greater responsibility, to suggest that Heaven involves ongoing growth, learning, and meaningful work. How does this picture change the way you think about the skills, passions, and gifts you are developing right now?
a.What gifts or passions do you have that you hope to continue — in some form — in eternity?
b.How does the idea of eternal growth and responsibility change the way you think about investing in yourself and others now?
