Page 68 - Ephesians

“So that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing
riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus”.

What a day, when the universe assembles to celebrate and
praise God’s masterpiece! Glory to the Lamb, Who is worthy to
receive honor and praise and glory and power and dominion and
majesty and might forever and forever. They’ll sing His praises
into eternity.

Ephesians 2:7, tells us what it will be like in salvation future.
Christian works of art. The Victor displays his trophies in the day
of His triumph. A great day when the grace of God is on display!
Heaven will become a great gallery and Christians will be the
artwork. I used to think, I will be awe struck when I get to see
Gabriel or Michael. I don’t know what I’ll do when I see these
angels. But maybe Michael can’t wait to see me. And Gabriel
can’t wait to see you. They are going to adore the grace of God
in Christ, as they behold Christians. God will be showing you off,
throughout the ages of eternity. I love to relate this to Revelations
22:3,

“His bondservants shall serve Him.”

I always wondered what in the world we’ll do in heaven. I don’t
mind singing, but after ten billion years, what else are we going to
do? Well, I don’t know all that I’m going to do in heaven, but I
know this. I’m going to serve Him, by displaying His magnificent
grace.

I tell you, I used to get discouraged that I was weak on grace.
You and I are weak on grace. You won’t be strong in grace until
you are in heaven for a trillion years. We use the word salvation
in such an anemic way. As if it was some kind of fire insurance
that will keep somebody out of hell. It is that! But, much more.
He pulled us out of the depths, and takes us up to heavenly
places. Seats us with Christ in His triumphant glory. Then,
works creative grace in our hearts. It’s a marvelous thing!
