Our Angel Chauffeurs!
"Finally, the poor man died and was
carried by the angels to sit beside
Abraham at the heavenly banquet."
Luke 16: 22
Some people mistakenly believe we become
angels after death. The Bible nowhere teaches
such a thing, but it does tell us that angels will
accompany believers on their way to heaven
at the moment of death.
In His story of the rich man and
Lazarus, Jesus
said when beggar Lazarus died, he “was carried
by the angels to Abraham’s bosom” (Luke 16:22).
So, the angels escorted him to be with Abraham
and all the rest of God’s children.
It’s normal to be
apprehensive about
dying but knowing Jesus as Savior
turns the experience to an adventure.
Death isn’t a drop into darkness. It’s a quick
journey into the presence of Christ and our
loved ones with
angels as chauffeurs,
bodyguards, and companions.
As you anticipate heaven, remember none
of us will take the journey there alone. The
Bible says that angels escort us to heaven.
What a comforting truth!
"Death for the Christian cuts the cord that
holds us captive in this present evil world
so that angels may transport believers to
their heavenly inheritance."
Billy Graham
