Animals in heaven

8 June 2012      

   

Isaiah 11:6 The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them.

Will there be animals in heaven? Many are the debates on this issue, some saying that heaven is the place of the soul and animals do not have souls, therefore no animals in heaven. This long and heated debate is interesting, as most of the people debating may never get to heaven themselves, their animals may be there long before them! Heaven is where God is, and God created all things for His pleasure and to glorify Him, in heaven the lion will walk with the lamb.

So when people ask you if their pet which died is going to heaven, then our response should be whether their lifestyle will get them into heaven. Nobody knows what is truly in heaven, except those who have been to heaven, and each of us have some kind of concept of heaven, yet the bible tells us that heaven is better than every concept we may have ever had. Simply because where heaven is, is where Jesus is.

Be encouraged today to look forward to a heaven beyond your wildest dreams.

David
