I’m thinking on eternity, and as I’m doing so the question again comes to my mind of, “Why?” It really doesn’t matter why what, the question is always there. A five-year-old in the backseat playing games and asking why is meaningless. Many times when people ask you to do certain things though it is important to know why.
My question is when we get to heaven will we still be asking why? Will we be concerned with why? Will we be so in tune with the presence of God that why is no longer an issue?
Somehow I think of being created in the image of God, being called as rational beings, being treated as personal beings by a personal God. I think that the question of “why” will always be appropriate. It may move to a different level. There may be many things that we might ask about that we are content to wait and get the answers in time. The fact of the matter though is there are many discussions with someone else where we need to delve a little bit deeper and “why” is one of the ways we do that.
So no, I don’t think the question of why I will ever go away.
