Thanksgiving in Heaven

Introduction: Are you practicing now what we are going to do in heaven? “THANKSGIVING to Jesus”? Listen to the description and join in today:
1. Where are we going to be? (Rev. 7:9) – “After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands.”
This is where our final destination will be… Home at last. The songwriter penned the words, “How beautiful heaven must be!” There’s not going to be any more sickness, sorrow, or sin in heaven!
2. What will we be doing? (Rev. 7:10–11) – “And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God.”
True worship is depicted here. What we call worship today pales in comparison to what it will be like then.
3. What will we be saying? (Rev. 7:12) – “Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.”
What words of affirmation are these! Jesus is worthy of our all! Take a moment to THANK Him right now.
Conclusion: Technically speaking, these are those coming out of the tribulation. (Rev. 7:14–15) – “And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore, are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple.”
However, the Church is pictured too in the description of the four and twenty elders. Therefore, we can conclude that we will be included in this THANKSGIVING CELEBRATION in HEAVEN!
Love y’all,
