Knockin' on Heaven's Door

A survey by Ed Stetsker shows that a lot of people are thinking about Heaven a lot of the time.

They may not be thinking about the Christian idea of Heaven but it seems that a lot of us are often wondering about what lies beyond the grave. Do we go on to some kind of paradise? Do we become spirits that continue to hang around here on earth? Can we truly know what we’ll encounter when we pass from this life?

When people we know pass away we talk about them going to a better place. Is that what we truly believe? Is there a better place waiting for us?

My regular Wednesday morning guest on 98.5 Sonshine FM is Ross Clifford who is the Principal of Morling College in New South Wales and current President of the Baptist Union of Australia. Each week we chat about a range of issues relating to spirituality and belief.

Yesterday we talked about the subject of Heaven and our yearning for something more than this life offers. Is it just a yearning based on a wish? Is it simply that we don’t want to believe that it’s all over when it’s over?
