Rejoice that your names are written in Heaven, Luke 10:20

Rejoice that your names are written in heaven, Luke 10:20

Can ‘you’ believe that? Can you believe that your own name is written in a book somewhere in heaven? You may not be known or held in regard on earth, but Jesus said, ‘Rejoice’ that in heaven, the centre of all creation, your very own name is written in one of God’s books!

The seventy-two disciples returned rejoicing, ‘that the demons submit to us in your name’. Jesus said, ‘do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven’.

In the Amplified Bible it gives three references beside this verse;

Exodus 32:32, Moses speaking to Almighty God after Israel’s sin, ‘forgive their sin(this must have been a momentous pause) — but if not, then blot me out of the Book You have written’.

Psalm 69:28, David, ‘May they be blotted out of the Book of Life and not be listed with the righteous’.

Daniel 12:1, ‘At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people(Israel are divinely protected) will arise. But at that time your people – everyone whose name is written in the book will be delivered’.

Moses, David and Daniel all knew about the names in the book in heaven.

One time in Jerusalem, we walked into the cafe in Christ Church, near Jaffa Gate. A large man of God in a suit was sitting by a fire; it was January. He began to talk to me as I ordered some tea and then called my wife to join them. We shared communion with them in the cafe. He said as we’d walked into the building God had spoken to him and said, ‘those two people are mine and they have much to do for me’. God knows those who are His and He wanted us to know it that day. He was speaking to us, just as He’d spoken to His disciples all those years ago.

May you rejoice in your calling today and be thankful your names are written in heaven.

God bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you.
