THE GREATEST RECEPTION OF ALL

“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:  That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”

John 3:14-17 KJV

The most beautiful wedding reception we will ever attend can’t compare with the greatest reception of all that will happen when Jesus comes back to take us home with Him.  We will be with our Bridegroom forever.  When someone invites Jesus into his or her heart, there is rejoicing in Heaven.

Bill Gaither wrote the beautiful inspiring hymn “Joy In The Camp”.  It is one of my favorite hymns.  “The angels in heaven are rejoicing ‘round the throne, Filling the lofts with chords so grand; They’re singing because of one lost sheep who just came home, I know there must be joy in the camp.”

For those of us who have accepted Jesus as our Saviour, there was a celebration party in Heaven for us.  Has it entered your heart that when someone invites Jesus into his or her heart that not only does it make Jesus happy, it also makes our Heavenly Father happy?  What a Saviour, this Jesus of Nazareth!

Have the angels rejoiced because you are saved?  If not, give your heart to Jesus before it is too late.  Jesus loves you so much that He allowed them to beat Him beyond recognition and spit on Him.  They crucified Jesus for your sins and for my sins.  Don’t wait another minute.  Say yes to Jesus today.
