The following words were inscribed on a gravestone: "Don't weep for me now, don't weep for me ever; for I'm going to do nothing forever and ever." Some people think heaven will be a boring place. Others, after years of exhausting work, look forward to doing nothing in heaven—the ultimate retirement!
It's true that in heaven we will rest from earthly labors (Revelation 14:13), but it's not a place of inactivity. When John saw a vision of the New Jerusalem with the throne of God and the Lamb, and populated with God's redeemed people, he stated plainly, "His servants shall serve Him" (22:3).

If we know Christ as Savior, we will be raised up with resurrection power to serve Him in heaven. Never again will we serve Him half-heartedly and sporadically as we often do now. Instead, we'll serve enthusiastically and continually (7:15). In unimaginable ways, we will be involved creatively with God without the agonies of decline and death (21:4). We'll happily spend eternity basking in God's redeeming love and exploring endless pleasures at His right hand (Psalm 16:11).

Heaven certainly isn't a boring place with nothing to do—it's a place where we'll see Christ's face and joyfully serve Him forever!
