Luke 22:18 - Eating and Drinking in Heaven from Randy Alcorn - EPM on Vimeo.

Luke 22:18 is often quoted as definitive proof that we will not eat and drink in God's Kingdom. But in the context of Luke 22 Jesus is addressing legalistic rules of what one is allowed to eat and drink. Randy Alcorn clarifies that Jesus is saying God's Kingdom at its core is not concerned with such legalistic things. But the rest of Scripture indicates that we will be eating and drinking in Heaven and Randy explains how this may be a beneficial experience. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

video - Randy Alcorn
In this clip Randy Alcorn points out that eating and drinking are often thought of as inherently bad because they are part of this physical world. But that is really an idea that comes from Platonism. In Luke, Jesus says that getting to eat at the feast in God's kingdom is a blessing. From this Randy argues that there is no reason to think that we will only eat and drink in a spiritual sense when in Heaven. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.
