“I will make you ruler over many things.” Matthew 25:21 NKJV

If you are a purpose-driven person, the thought of spending eternity doing little or nothing will have no appeal for you. But that’s not the case. When we get to heaven, God is not going to say, “Well done, good and faithful servant; you can take the rest of eternity off.” No, He will say, “Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things” (Matthew 25:21 NKJV). There will be “many things” for us to do. We already know that we will be ruling with Christ over this restored earth during His millennial reign (see Revelation 20:6). And Revelation 22:3 says, “His servants shall serve Him.” God will not only have a place for each of us, but a plan. The reason heaven will not be boring is because God is not boring! The psalmist said, “In thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Psalm 16:11). Since we will be in God’s presence, everything we do will bring joy and satisfaction. Ecclesiastes 3:11 says that God has placed eternity in our hearts. That means that God has created within us a space that cannot be satisfied with anything but heaven. We can never comprehend all that God has prepared for us in our heavenly home. And we can’t recreate heaven on earth. But when we opt to prepare for our eternal home that is waiting for us, our earthly focus shifts toward living a life that pleases and honours God and brings others to Him.
