Why should we rejoice

Today's Verse is Luke 10:20
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

 Our heavenly Father, may or may not give us many things, but none of things should move us. What we need to be focused upon is none other than Jesus Christ and what he did for us on the Cross. It is this, and nothing else that matters, for by it we shall see heaven, and live forever in the presence of God our Father, and our Savior, Jesus Christ. So whether we be as Lazarus who had nothing in this world, or as Abraham, while not having his own place, was rich beyond count; both looked for that "city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God."  Let us therefore, rejoice and rest in that place the cross has provided us, and if we are given more, give God thanks for them but never lose sight in what we have received in Christ, a place by him in heaven

To God be the Glory
Scott
