Many thanks for your feedback on the topic "TOP 5 NEW TESTAMENT SAINTS YOU WANT TO SEE FIRST WHEN YOU GET TO HEAVEN". Without any shadow of doubt, it was clear that most saints that responded to this put the Lord Jesus Christ on top of their list. So having left the Lord out of this, others are as follows:
While I encourage you to watch out for part 2 of this series, featuring the Old Testament saints, as many of us out there yet to participate in this very interesting topic are still free to do so. Your choice can still altar the above. Reproduced below is my own top 5 Names of saints I want to see when I get to heaven.
1.
The Thief on the
Cross – this story remains one of the most fascinating stories in the bible.
Who would have thought that a thief or call him an armed robber could make it
to heaven (Luke 23:32-43). It can only be possible with God! I see this as a lesson never to
write anyone off as not being worthy to make it. This should be a motivation
for every believer to keep sowing the seed of the word because we may not know
how God will eventually use it to harvest lost souls into the kingdom. Heaven
indeed shall be full of surprises! By the way, I want to ask the thief on the cross what motivated him to make that statement that gave him not only a place in history but most importantly in eternity. Has he heard about Jesus before that day?
2.
Lazarus – Who
would not want to see the man that was raised from the dead? Even in the time
of Christ, bible recorded that many came not to hear Jesus but to see Lazarus
whom he raised from the dead (John 12:9). I am wondering how the press would have captured his story and how his house would have turned to a tourist centre thereafter! I don’t
know about you but am as eager as anything to see this man!
3.
John the Baptist –
Why am I curious to see this man? It is simply because of the statement of
Jesus Christ in Matt. 11:11 that though he was one of the greatest born, but he
will be the least in the kingdom of God.
The question I will ask him is what crime he committed to have been qualified to be given such a
LOWLY position FOREVER despite his legendary status as the fore runner of Jesus Christ.
4.
John the Beloved – The one I called the most ‘pampered’ Apostle. I will ask John what he did to
deserve so many privileges he ‘enjoyed’ more than every other apostle.
Peter was jealous of this privileged position at a point that he had
to ask Christ (when he told him three times to "feed the sheep"), “What will this man do?” Jesus’ answer in John 21:22 was shocking to me! “... If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me". John is indeed a ‘favorite’ of the Lord! I would love to find out if he still enjoys his favorite tag in heaven.
5.
Apostle Paul –
The equivalent of today’s Boko Haram leader. Who will not want to see this man?
I strongly perceive that he would feature on the least of at least 70% of the
saints and I am not an exception. I will ask him what made him to take on the
role of the chief persecutor of the saints so wickedly?
BELOVED, DO YOU AGREE WITH THIS LIST? I WILL BE PLEASED TO KNOW YOUR OWN TOP 5 NAMES (NEW TESTAMENT SAINTS) YOU WANT TO SEE FIRST WHEN YOU GET TO HEAVEN.
