Pie in the Sky

Yeah. Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. High in the sky. And he saith unto me, Right. Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.

And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. Revelation 19.9 Unbelievers sometimes ridicule Bible believing Christians as being so heavenly minded that they are of no earthly use, and as waiting for pie in the sky by and by. This canard is, of course, unjustified because the Lord Jesus has told us. Occupy till I come. And we are also instructed.

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men. A Christian could and should do a better job in his particular occupation than he would have ever done as a non-Christian. All honorable occupations come within the scope of God's primeval dominion mandate. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might. Ecclesiastes nine ten.

Nevertheless, there is a great feast day coming by and by, and indeed it will be a great blessing to be called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. Presumably those who partake of this wonderful feast will be not only those who constitute his bride, but also others who are called to be guests at his wedding supper. since the holy city is also called the bride, the lamb's wife, and since it is inscribed with the names of both the twelve tribes of Israel and also the twelve apostles, it is clear that believers from both the pre-Christian and Christian ages will be there. they will all have responded to the Lord's invitation and have had the right attitude of heart and life toward the will of the bridegroom. Whether some kind of heavenly pie will be served at the supper is doubtful.

but it will surely be a time of great blessing. If you've enjoyed today's devotional, be sure to subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts. And please rate and review so more listeners can find us.
