Registered in heaven

to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, - Hebrews 12v23

I love this picture. One day the general assembly and church of the firstborn, already registered in heaven, will finally meet together.

Can you imagine that marvellous day? Today we are scattered all of the face of the earth. We are red, yellow, black and white. We are rich and poor, famous and unknown, educated and not. We live in megacities, cities, towns, villages, hamlets, and rural houses. We worship in different styles, we listen to different kinds of preaching, and we use different kinds of music. Despite all of this, every one of us who have accepted Christ as Saviour are a part of the great and marvellous general assembly and church of the firstborn. The membership roll is already registered in heaven, and one day the roll will be called and we will all be there.

I love to travel and meet other members of the church. I love when they come to Ireland and visit our church. I love the common bond in Christ that unites us and compels us to rejoice and fellowship together.

What a marvellous day it will be when we finally get to assemble together and worsip as one!
