Accompanied By Angels!
"So it was that the beggar died, and was
carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom."
Luke 16: 22
When believers in Christ die, there is activity that takes
place that's unseen by those in attendance at the time
of death. According to Jesus, angels from heaven
accompany the soul of the deceased to Paradise.
This insight is gleaned from a story told by Jesus
about the deaths of two men: an unrighteous rich
man and a righteous beggar named Lazarus
(Luke 16:19-31).
In the story, when the beggar
died,
he was carried by angels into the
presence of God.
This story is not a fictitious parable told by Jesus but an
actual account of two men He had known. In all the rest
of
His parables, Jesus never named the characters but
in this case He did, this was likely a true account and
that the details of the story, like the activity of the
angels were also true.
If you are in Christ when you die, you will be escorted
to Paradise by angels from heaven. Remember
God’s
care for His children extends to life after death as well.
"O be of good cheer, there is nothing to
fear, the angels have charge over
thee."
