In your Heaven book, I came across what appeared to be a misunderstanding of the 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 passage. What is your response?

Question from a reader:

In leading a study through your Heaven book, I came across what appeared to be a misunderstanding of the 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 passage. What is your response?
     I studied verse 10 and clearly, whatever is being spoken of in verse 9 is also being spoken of as being revealed to us by the Spirit in verse 10.
     I also went to the beginning of the passage....

How did you become interested in the subject of Heaven?

In my book In Light of Eternity I tell several stories related to my mom’s death 19 years ago, the death of my closest friend about 10 years ago, and my father’s death three years ago. There were many people who meant a great deal to me and to whom I was very close, as well as many people in my congregation while I was in pastoral ministry, who faced terminal cancer situations or whatever it might be. I found myself doing a lot of memorial services and spending a lot of time with people who were dying, and my heart and mind just sort of moved over to this arena of what really does happen on the other side of death. And when I think of my loved ones who have died and what they are currently experiencing, what should I think about heaven?
