All
children need a bedtime story to help them sleep. Adults also need such a story to help us a
wake. A single picture is worth a thousand words; this is true; some pictures
are created with those very words. Gaze upon this image: I see a paved street gleaming of gold. Its
purity is so rare your reflection it beholds. It is teaming with saints of old
and countless generations of family members untold.
They are
singing of God’s grace and power of redemption. Some boastfully testify of
Christ and His love. While just inside the Jasper City the hum of a million angel’s
wings set pace of song to sound as God’s Angels sing; glory to God in the highest,
Hallelujah, to the true and living God! Their song is in perfect pitch, and
their harmony has no end. This glorious chatter of heaven briefly comes to a
stop, as ‘The Lamb’s Book of Life’ comes forward all sounds and songs do cease
and the Word made flesh announces the
names of souls just saved.
In
the excitement of man’s salvation, a wave of laughter breaks forth and all
Heaven’s inhabitants shout and then without missing a tick of the clock; they return
to praise our God and Lord. This image continuously plays, for those there
wait, for us here to arrive and on that great day when the last of us arrives,
God’s church will become the bride of Christ, and the banquet of all the ages
will shake Heaven’s floor, as all God’s children gather around His glorious throne.
