Some people really love to sleep. Sleep is important to our lives now to be
healthy. Our body restores itself during
sleep.
But do we sleep in heaven? There’s no indication Adam and Eve slept
before sin, except when God performed surgery and gave Adam an anesthesia.
After sin in Genesis 3, God
pronounced that two things would happen to our bodies.
- We would have to work very hard.
- Our bodies would wear out.
So sin caused a change in the human
body. Now people needed sleep because their
bodies were wearing out.
So do we sleep in heaven? We do have homes or places to live in heaven,
what do we do there? We all sleep in our
homes, don’t we?
Then again, life will not be
toilsome and the clocks aren’t ticking in our bodies, so sleep doesn’t seem
necessary.
Maybe we rest instead.
Most importantly we will rest in the Lord because all our
troubles will be taken care of in heaven.
