We are the Great Multitude

<Note:  if you are following the calendar, I inadvertently used "Salt of the Earth" twice.  So I'm using Saturday's instead.>

"After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands."  Revelation 7:9

This verse can give us such hope.  Some days it seems as if the world is only evil, there is no hope or goodness, no other Christians.

This verse reminds us of the fallacy of that thinking.  Yes, the road is narrow, but that doesn't mean that the Christian walk has to be lonely.  There are others, many others!

Sunday morning at church, I had a glimpse of what heaven may be like.  Standing there, singing, worshiping with other believers - THAT'S what heaven will be like!  Millions of others, of every race and nationality, will be standing together, united in worship.

One of the definitions of "multitude" in the dictionary says, "the common people."  I love that!  There's no one great, no one small under the grace of God.  We're all just common, with one thing in common <grin>:  we're all redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ.

I was told about this website recently, and it is awesome:   www.greatcommission2020.com.  Check it out.  It is an online resource for people all over the world to ask questions about God, seek someone to pray with them, and find Christ as their Savior.  God is drawing people to Himself, every minute, of every hour, of every day.

It's Satan's lie that you are alone.  You are a part of a great multitude, so great it cannot be counted!  Take strength in that!
