ONE HAPPY DAY

“After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.”

Revelation 7:9,10 KJV

Eliza E. Hewitt wrote “Beautiful Robes”.  It is a hymn that gives us hope and comfort.  “We shall walk with Him in white, By the fountains of delight, Where the Lamb His ransomed ones shall lead, For His blood shall wash each stain, Till no spot of sin remain, And the soul forevermore is freed.”

Jesus is coming back for us and we will be reunited with our loved ones.  Pastor  J. Wilbur Chapman wrote the hymn “One Day”.  “One day the trumpet will sound for His coming, One day the skies with His glories will shine; Wonderful day, my belovèd ones bringing; Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!”

When we go to a wedding, we stand when the bride walks down the aisle.  When Jesus comes back for us, we won’t stand up.  We will kneel in respect to our Saviour.  “For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God” (Romans 14:11).

If you are a parent, then you know how it hurts you and breaks your heart when people hurt your children.  When Jesus was crucified for our sins, it broke the heart of God.  When He sees people reject His Son, it hurts our tender loving compassionate Father and it breaks His heart.  Let’s stop hurting God.
