The Bullpen with J.D. Greear

Show Notes

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.
