Bible Study Recognise in heaven

Anyone know of any scripture to support or dismiss the idea that we will recognise people in Heaven i.e. remember them from now, like will I know my grandparents when I get to Heaven and remember who they are in relation to me?
 
Jesus spent 6 weeks on Earth, after the Resurrection - 'appeared to many, giving infallible proofs that it was indeed He, alive again' :P

Even secular historians like Pliny, Josephus & Herodotus refer to it 8-)

Last word to 'doubting Thomas'...

"My Lord & my God!" :multi:

OK...OK...

I hear that encore...
:wink:

Saul recognised Samuel - (who rebuked him for foolishly disobeying God by going to the witch of Endor)... :o

All Lazarus' family & friends recognised he had risen :angel:

1 Corinthians 15 maybe puts it best :D

God bless!

"30: For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. "

So, we won't be married to our spouse, in Heaven. We might recognize them, but, things will be vastly different. Perhaps those things, recognizing others in Heaven, won't matter so much. It will be so beautiful there, and God and Jesus will be there, forever, and we will be with THEM, forever, so, maybe the glory of the Lord, the majesty of God, the beauties of Heaven, will make us ......different..........than we are now.

More information on what we will be like, in Heaven:
35: But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36: Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37: And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38: But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
39: All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40: There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41: There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42: So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45: And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46: Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47: The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48: As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49: And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50: Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51: Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52: In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53: For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54: So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55: O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56: The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57: But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58: Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
