Hi John, Thanks for your comment. But how do we effectively communicate the amazing joy of heaven, as we are experiencing it now, to people who are suffering some of the terrible things that are happening in our society? How do we communicate it in a way that is compelling to people? How do we communicate it so that people will make their own choice to know that joy? Jesus must have done it brilliantly. His love for people was obviously deeply engaging? Love to get your further thoughts.

The greatest two things about heaven are that we will be in the presence of God for eternity and secondly we will be released from any earthly pain and suffering forever. Those of us who live with Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord (Christians), know this promise is for real and certain. In the story, being in heaven would be a release from the pain of drug addicition. Sadly, our addiction should not be to earthly things like drugs, alcohol, sex, capitalism, maaterialism and similar; our addiction should be on knowing and sharing the great news of Jesus. The love of Jesus is something worth getting addicted to – that means, one day we will join Jesus in heaven.
