Sex and Heaven: Why Sex Isn't Everything

In his debate with the Sadducees, Jesus says something shocking: he says there will be no marriage and therefore no sex in heaven. Malcolm Muggeridge says “sex is the mysticism of a materialistic society”—when all you have is the here and now, there is something utterly missing to life. In this audio talk, Lane reflects on the essence of heaven as a way to understand sex. The essence of heaven is that it is not foremost about our pleasures, it is a place centered on the triune God, it is a new dimension of life altogether, and it shows us that marriage and sex are signposts pointing us to our relationship with God. Lane concludes with four implications of these truths as we think about sex.
