Presenting Us in Heaven

"Christ in His body mightily beareth us up into heaven. For I saw that Christ, us all having in Him that shall be saved by Him, worshipfully presenteth His Father in heaven with us; which present full thankfully His Father receiveth, and courteously giveth it to His Son, Jesus Christ: which gift and working is joy to the Father, and bliss to the Son, and pleasing to the Holy Ghost."

Julian of Norwich (Ch. 55)

Christ brought us all up with Him as He rose and ascended to heaven. He presented us all to the Father with great joy, so happy to bring up to heaven the newborn children He had birthed through the resurrection, the pure, sweet, new creations in Him. The Father received this gift, this bundle of joy, from the Son so happily, then gave the gift of reborn humanity right back to the Son. And all the Trinity rejoices over this wonderful work of the Son in rebirthing us, and rejoices over the ones who are birthed - all of us! The atmosphere must feel like that of a family who is thrilled to be home with their newborn baby, with all the family members "oohing and aahing" over the little baby and passing the baby from person to person, enjoying that little bundle of joy! Just like a newborn baby, we are so sweet, adorable and perfect to the Trinity. We bring the Father, Son and Holy Spirit such absolute joy and bliss, for we are dearly beloved children in the family circle of God!

"You are God's children and he loves you very much."

Ephesians 5:1 (EASY)

A Prayer:  Thank You for rejoicing over me like a new parent rejoices over a newborn baby.
