What happens to a blind person when he dies? Does he continue to be blind or he’s able to see?
I don’t see how non-disabled people can say that disabled people will be just like them in heaven, when everybody has or will have something wrong with them before they die. What I envision is that I will be young, healthy, attractive and will have nothing wrong with me (either physically or mentally) to keep me from fully enjoying the new life that I will then have. As will everybody. Death, disability, illness, sickness are all part of the fall. So how can they be part of our new lives in heaven? Now I’m not deaf, but I envision that that the deaf person, who is part of the deaf culture and identifies that way here on earth, will be able to hear and will no longer have a need to identify with a special group in heaven. We will all be part of the family of God!
Frankly, none of us has a clue what heaven will be like, except that it will be good beyond our wildest dreams. But here’s an expectation of mine: our experiences here on earth will shape our identities in heaven. Every child of God will bear the marks of our experiences here on earth throughout eternity – the joys and delights, the sorrows and horrors. God will make all things new, not with a “scorched earth policy” of throwing out who we were while here on earth and starting over, but with an eternal springtime in which each of us awakens to be exactly whom God intended us to be.
