How can heaven have no suffering when people we know are in hell?

[su_audio url=" [ommtop] [su_spoiler title="Click for transcription..." style="default" open="no"]First, we know that those in heaven will not experience sadness. Revelation 7:17 says, "God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." How then will we respond concerning those who went to hell? There may be a sense in which we become oblivious to them in eternity, but there is also the likelihood that our perfected minds will think of them as God thinks, and be perfectly satisfied with the justice of God that sent them to hell. In Romans 9:21, Paul asks those struggling with election, "Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?" Essentially, God reserves the right to do with man what He please. In Revelation 18 and 19 we read of the joy and praise to God that's offered when judgment is poured out upon the ungodly. God must be glorified in anything He chooses to do, and since He has chosen that the unregenerate go to hell, the children of God will praise Him for that because it ultimately glorifies Him.[/su_spoiler]
