This week on Ask the Pastor, Pastor J.D. answers a question submitted by Andrew who asked, “Could you attempt to provide some clarity on whether an earthly marriage between Christians means that husband/wife relationship carries into eternity?”
Thank you Andrew for your question!
A glimpse inside this episode:
Jesus teaches that there is no marriage in heaven.
Marriage was created to address loneliness on earth.
In heaven, companionship will be fulfilled in a better way.
Our joys in heaven will be heightened and transformed.
C.S. Lewis compares earthly pleasures to heavenly joys.
Marriage is a temporary picture of our relationship with Christ.
Single people are full-fledged family members in Christ.
The episode encourages listeners to submit their questions.
