We'll See Each Again, But Better

Good Morning!! Often, Christians who've lost loved ones, talk about seeing them again in heaven. But is this just wishful thinking,...or is it a true longing, that's biblically supported? When people ask me whether we will be able to recognize one another in heaven, I share why I believe we will. First, Jesus was recognizable after His death. Once they accepted the reality that He was alive, Mary, the two disciples on the road to Emmaus,...and eventually all the other disciples saw and recognized Him. Second, others were recognizable, including Moses and Elijah at the transfiguration. How did Peter recognize two men he had never met, yet call them by name (v. 4)?

And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.—Matthew 17:3 (NIV)

And finally, our God is a relational God,...one who longs to have a relationship with us,...and who created us to have relationships with others. If God created us this way, would He really redeem and restore us, without a sense of recognition in heaven?

Someday, we will see and know our Savior face to face.
By God’s grace, the same will be true when we are reunited with those that we love!

O' Lord, we long to see You, and our loved ones in heaven,...and to be in the company of other believers in glory.

"If the Lord truly directs our steps, why would we need to understand every little thing along the walk."
