You were an angel – Part 2 [Heavenly Mother]
In Part 1, I showed that we had been heavenly angels before we were born in the earth through the Scriptures.
We have to focus why we are here leaving the glorious world, the kingdom of heaven and how we can get back to the former glorious world. Let’s find out the reason through the words Jesus spoke 2,000 years ago.
Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost
Jesus said the purpose of his coming was to seek and save the lost then, who are the lost and where were they lost? As you know, Jesus is the savior who came down to the earth from heaven to save mankind, therefore the lost is us who used to be angels. Here comes another why. Why were we lost? Is there a reason Jesus could not help losing us in heaven?
Matt 9:13 But go and learn what his means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Jesus himself clearly said that he came down to the earth to call(find, save) sinners. Comparing the above two verses, we can know that we are expelled from heaven because we committed a sin against God. Like a person who has committed a crime is separated and must be sent to a prison, we were forced to come to the earth leaving heaven full of joy and glory because we committed a sin. In other words, the earth is the spiritual prison. This is why there are many sufferings, pains and sorrows in this world. No one can be happy in a prison.
The Way to Get Back
Do we have the way come back to our real home, the kingdom of heaven? Definitely yes. Jesus said he came to this world to save sinners, which means he brought the way for us to come back the heaven. Before finding out the way, let’s see what sin we had committed against God in heaven.
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The Apostle Paul testified that the wages of our sin is death and the sin here does not mean we commit in this world because even a baby who has not done anything bad sometimes dies. The sin mentioned in Rom 6:23 is the sin we committed in heaven against God. Now, it’s not difficult to understand we are sinners who were sentenced to death because of things we’d done in heaven before we were born in the world. WE ARE SPIRITUAL PRISONERS ON DEATH ROW! In other words, death is the only thing we can pay off for our sin, then is there any way that we, prisoners on death row, get forgiveness of sins and go back to heaven?
Eph 1″7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.
We need JESUS’ BLOOD for the forgiveness of our sin and we can go back to heaven with it. Then, HOW? Just having a faith in Jesus and his blood shed on the cross give us salvation? or is there any specific way to get the forgiveness with Jesus’ blood?
“This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many the forgiveness of sins.”
Matt 26″17-26 On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.'” So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. … While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
As Jesus had directed, the disciples prepared the Passover, when Jesus said the bread is his flesh and wine is his blood for forgiveness of sins. So, by keeping the Passover, we can participate in Jesus’ flesh and blood and then receive the forgiveness of our sin as well as eternal life.
John 6:53-57 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me.
The Passover is the way for us to get back to heaven and live forever there; Jesus testified that the Passover is the New Covenant established by his blood for sinners.
Luke 22:19-22 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table.
The Passover of the New Covenant is the promise that Jesus established for heavenly sinners to receive the forgiveness of sins and get back to heaven. If you don’t believe in Jesus, I wouldn’t urge you to keep it but if you are a christian who love God and Jesus, I dare to beg you to keep the Passover. Lastly, I’d like to remind you of Jesus’ words full of love toward us.
Luke 22:14-15 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
