Wade McGee in Heaven
Chapter 42
(regarding music)
‘If there’s a specific reason why some won’t, why listen to
them now?”
(regarding laughter)
”One of Satan’s great lies is that God—and goodness—is joyless and humorless, while Satan—and evil—brings pleasure and satisfaction. In fact, it’s Satan who is humorless. Sin didn’t bring him joy; it forever stripped him of joy. In contrast, envision Jesus with his disciples. If you cannot picture him teasing them and laughing with them, you need to reevaluate your understanding of the Incarnation. We need a biblical theology of humor that prepares us for an eternity of celebration and spontaneous laughter.”
