THE HAPPIEST AND MOST JOYOUS DAY

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.  Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

Philippians 2:5-11

King James Version

The happiest and most joyous day is going to be when God tells Jesus it is time for Him to come get His Bride and He comes back for us.  “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words”    (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18).

When a man and woman get married, the bride walks down the aisle to the man she is marrying.  When Jesus comes back for us, I’m not going to walk down an aisle to meet Him; I am going to fall at His feet with tears of happiness and joy rolling down my face.  Then I’m going to give Him the biggest hug He has ever got and I’m never going to stop hugging Him.  I will spend eternity telling Him how much I love Him and how dear and precious He is to me.  Just writing about it makes me so excited, I feel like I’m going to explode.

If you don’t know this precious Saviour, if there has never been a time in your life when you admitted you are a sinner, asked God to forgive you and invited Jesus in your heart to be your personal Saviour, I urge you, I plead with you to say yes to Jesus now.  He loves you so much He died for your sins so that you may live in Heaven with Him for eternity.

Precious Heavenly Father, I pray for every man, for every woman, for every boy and for every girl that has never invited Jesus into their heart.  May today be the day they say yes to Jesus.  I pray for every pastor who is preaching the good news of our risen Saviour.  Please encourage them, comfort them and let them know how much You appreciate their service to You.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
