       There won’t be any shootouts, nor cemeteries, nor tombstones, but everybody is going to live forever. All there will be is life in the air. The Apostle Paul had something important to tell us regarding this life and how we see things. He told the church at Corinth, “For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known” (1 Corinthians 13:12, ESV). Several things are interesting about this verse, and we should know that he is comparing how we see things now, in this world, with how we are going to see things in the next life. We think we know a lot right now, but the reality is, is that we really don’t know much at all. We really have no idea of how much there is to know. Paul also told the Corinthian church later in time that he knew a man who had been to Heaven, and he was probably talking about himself. He said of this man, “he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter” (2 Corinthians 12:4, ESV).
