One day all Christians will be in heaven, and what a true
blessing it will be. On this earth we will never have a true understanding what
heaven will truly be like. What our new glorified bodies will be like, or what it
means to have a glorified soul and spirit. We will one day realize what it will
be like to see the throne of God and the throne on His right where our Saviour
sits. The twenty-four thrones in front of God’s throne where the twenty-four
Elders will sit. I do not know who these Elders are, but what a blessing it would
be to be one of them. What a blessing to think about the river that runs from
the Throne of our Father through heaven. What a blessing it will be to be in
the special place where Jesus has elected to make for us who are His. What a
blessing it will be to see our Brothers and Sisters in heaven that we were with
here on earth. I pray most of my family are there with me, what a blessing it would
be, even though we are Brothers and Sisters there. Oh, how blessed we will be
once we are with the Lord. However, as I have spoken of all these blessings, I have
not spoken of a very great blessing, the blessing of BEING GOD’S CHILDREN!
“Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir
of God through Christ.” Galatians 4:7 And to make it feel so more
wonderful listen to this scripture, “And if children, then heirs; heirs of
God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may
be also glorified together.” Romans 8:17 While we may be adopted it
does in any way lessen our value to God, because we are considered as much a child
as Jesus is. WHAT A TRUE BLESSING! Yes indeed, one day soon we will
understand what we read in the Holy Scriptures as it all becomes real to us, just
how blessed we are. Oh, how I wished I could make it more real to you, but that
day when faith is no longer needed it will be real to us, all blessings, all
the time. Jesus prayed this prayer for us to soon see His glory, “Father, I
will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that
they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me
before the foundation of the world.” John 17:24 While you would think we
have reached the highest of God’s blessings, I believe there is one more that
must rate as the blessings of all blessings. That blessing is how we as sinners
could ever be so blessed not only to one day stand in the kingdom of God, but before
our Fathers Throne entirely and absolutely without one accountable sin! Sometimes
we remember our sins, Paul did “Concerning zeal, persecuting the church;
touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.” Philippians 3:6
I once knew a Pastor who had a sin in his past and thought God punished his sin
with a child that had major issues. I do not believe God does that to His children,
the child could have been given for many reasons. God forgives us our sins,
cast them as far as the east is from the west, and while we may remember them,
Jesus took them all to the cross and the Father has forgiven them through His
glorious blood. My Brother Pastor is with the Lord now, and he no longer remembers
that sin, praise the Lord. Folks, our glory is awaiting us, while we may not
have the greatest of understanding now, we soon will and what a true blessing
it will be, especially when we stand before God, 100% HOLY!!! Thank you, Jesus,
for our blessings! “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and
saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” John
1:29
