They Know What Heaven Holds

In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels

when even one sinner repents.”

Luke 15:10 

Luke 15 gives us four examples of God’s saving grace and is a magnificent declaration of God’s desire that everyone be saved. (1 Timothy 2:4) Jesus’ words, quoted above, imply that God’s angels know something that we do not. Maybe it is more that their appreciation of life in Christ is so much deeper than ours. We are surrounded by the reality that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. The angels are surrounded by a different reality.

Where the angels are, and where we, the followers of Jesus, are destined to be, is literally another world. God’s angels’ dwell where arguments have ceased, jealousy does not exist, where there are no secrets, and where sin no longer exists. All fear and insecurity have been left behind. Love is pure and holy. The angels are where God’s will is fulfilled completely. There is joy in the presence of God’s angels because the angels know what is in store for God’s children who have been redeemed by the love of Jesus. They know what heaven holds.

My Takeaway: Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person, because the old life is gone, and a new life has begun, thus we can begin living with the joy of God’s angels today. This joy will keep us grounded in God’s grace for today. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
