Are you ready for a tough question?
Here it is.
"Will there be animals in heaven?"
Answer?
Yeah. All dogs go to heaven.
No, wait. That's Disney. That's not the Bible. [laughs]
I've never had like a close pet.
I had a hamster named Ralph once who died pretty young.
But I know lots of you love your animals.
You love your dogs, and your cats, and your birds.
They're like members of your family.
And so this is a real and an honest question.
When your son or your daughter ask you, "Will, will our pet be with us forever?"
What are you going to say that's actually true and from the Bible?
Here's my answer.
Um, probably not.
The Bible says that human beings alone
were given souls that go to be with God in heaven.
And if that makes you sad, I want to push you a little bit and say, "Why?"
If the only reason that heaven would be really good is because your dog is there,
I don't think you have any idea what heaven is like.
The Bible says that all the good things that we experience in this life
are just little glimpses, and previews, and appetizers of the feast that is to come.
In Romans chapter 1 it says,
And so if you loved your dog because your dog was faithful,
that was just a glimpse of the faithfulness of God.
If your cat made you so happy when she purred on your lap,
that was just a glimpse of the feeling that you will have with God.
Whether our pets make it to heaven, it doesn't matter
because once you see the face of God
and all of his grace and mercy,
your heart will explode with such joy
you won't care about the details.
Now, the truth is at the resurrection of the Dead
on the Judgment Day,
God's going to create a new earth.
A physical place with physical bodies with, I think,
physical trees and physical water and,
and who knows, maybe physical animals
just like the ones we had in this life but better.
But when you get to heaven, don't be afraid of Fito is there or not.
The God of your faith will be
and that will be all that your heart truly needs.
