“CARRIED BY ANGELS!”
Luke 16:22
“So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.”
God has messengers that are referred to as angels in scripture. It seems that one of their assignments is to lovingly carry the spiritual bodies of the saints into the Paradise of God. Here in the Gospel of Luke it is described as Abraham’s bosom.
For those who are not born-again believers, they receive no such escort. Their remains are simply carried out and buried. But that is not the end is it? They are still very much aware of their surroundings. In Luke 16 the righteous beggar was now in the most glorious surroundings and his suffering had eternally ended. He would be with his Lord forever and ever.
The rich man also was still conscious of his surroundings — a place of suffering where he not only experienced pain, but observed that the beggar he had treated with such contempt on earth was experiencing eternal bliss.
We need to be aware that there is a heaven to gain and a hell to shun. Those around us are destined to one or the other. Now is the time to make every effort to snatch the perishing from that place of eternal suffering. Do it now!
God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
