4: Worthy Is the Lamb – Singing With Inspiration — 2 Comments

  1. The line in the Hymn which says “Angels never felt the joy that our salvation brings” is not supported by this week’s study of the direct involvement of angels in the salvation of men. Certainly if there is joy in heaven the ministering spirits assigned to us from birth to death/2nd Coming will not feel excluded from the joy over one repentent sinner.

    • When I was a child I fell under the wheel of a tractor and was miraculously rescued. There was considerable joy for those who witnessed the accident and saw the rescue, particularly my parents. But the joy I experienced as the rescued one was something very different to that. I faced the prospect of being squashed to a pulp and was saved. That sort of joy is different from the joy experienced by someone looking on or even helping. I think that is what the hymn is trying to say.

At a camp meeting 40 years later, I happened to see Dr. I. demonstrating some kind of health product, if I remember correctly. (In my mind, I see only the image of him, much older, but still looking much like he did when I was a student, with a friend by my side.) I lingered a little but did not introduce myself. I briefly wondered whether he recognized me. I’m fairly sure that I was as recognizable to him as he was to me.

Had he changed? Or did he still feel superior in his “humility”? Should I talk to him? I didn’t know how to approach him, and was busy with friends. I still don’t know whether I should have said something. (Maybe I’m just a coward.)

If God wants him to see my story, his and my identity are clear enough in this post, that God can direct him to it.
