Do you catch Paul’s drift here? Pleasure and rest are in Heaven. Working for the benefit of others is a believer’s job on earth. Both are life-giving and good. Heaven is certainly not a place on earth. The freedom we have in Christ is to give all of ourselves away knowing that the vast majority of our existence will be spent in a place where there is no sorrow, no mourning and no pain (Revelation 21:4). There is opportunity all around us every day to give of ourselves. We might have to put pleasure off for a little bit, but one day, we will reap the reward.
