"Indescribable"

"Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in Thy presence is fulness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore." (Psalms 16:11) Some things just have to be seen, not for us to believe, but for us to realize the magnitude of all that is waiting for us. Do I believe that Jesus Christ had seen what He had stepped down from? I believe that He knew exactly what heaven was like; more so than we could ever imagine for ourselves; and even more that the angels that had been cast out; for Jesus came from the fullness of God, and would be returning to the same. Jesus spoke many times about what heaven was like, giving us descriptions that we could relate to, and without making them seem too far fetched. It was this insight that He had of the glory to follow His assignment here that carried Him cheerfully through His undertaking, and that gave Him the will to carry it out. It might be hard for some to accept this belief, seeing that Jesus was manifested in the flesh, and that being born as a man, He might not have had access to such information; but He was not just a man, He was the Son of God who came down to dwell among us, and within Whom the fulness of God's Spirit was made available to and did dwell. In John 3:27-36, John the baptist was speaking to his own disciples about who Jesus was, and why it was that he should decrease and Jesus must increase; and He spoke to them about the words that Jesus spoke and why He should be believed, saying things like, "A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven"; "He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly: He that cometh from heaven is above all. And what He hath seen and heard, that He testifieth; and no man receiveth His testimony. He that receiveth His testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. For He whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto Him". So then; does that mean that this verse does not apply to us who have not seen? Absolutely not! This is not only a verse that should apply to us; but it is a verse to be sung by the church, and to be declared among each other; for it is by His testimony that we enter into that same belief; not by being a witness of heaven, but by being a witness of Jesus Christ, and that His testimony is true. Jesus said, "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you". (John 14:2) This is a promise to all those that believe in Him; not for us to see the place that is being prepared for us, for it is indescribable; but we do need to see Jesus, and we need to see Him high and lifted up! And, as believers in Christ, we should comfort one another in these things; believing that the fulness of joy is waiting for us in heaven; for this world has no lasting joy to offer us, but in Christ is that fulness, both now, and for evermore! This is the engraving that has been etched into our hearts: He is our portion...What more do we need to know? A golden Psalm indeed...
