Can we conclude that there is food and drink in heaven because Jesus ate and drank after the resurrection?
Upvote:3
At the last supper Jesus said:
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom. (Matt. 26:29)
The plainest rendering of this passage indicates there will be eating/drinking in heaven. In mortality, food & drink are necessary for survival. In the resurrection, the incorruptible bodies Paul speaks of (e.g. 1 Cor. 15:53) apparently will not die for lack of food.
This suggests, at least tentatively, that consumption of food & beverage in heaven will be available, but not necessary.
Regrettably, neither does Paul tell us anything about the Celestial digestive system, nor does John report on the sewage system in the new heaven & new earth.
