When one of you has a complaint against another, do you take your complaint to a court of sinners? Or do you take it to God's people? Don't you know that God's people will judge the world? And if you are going to judge the world, can't you settle small problems? Don't you know that we will judge angels? And if that is so, we can surely judge everyday matters.
1 Corinthians 6 : 1-3
If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you will be appointed to the Ultimate Supreme Court! These verses clearly say that Christians will judge the world and angels. I can imagine how we might be in a place to judge the world, but I can't imagine how, why or when we will judge angels!
Reading the Bible is like looking through a pinhole into Eternity. It gives us a glimpse of something that will only be understandable when we arrive on the Shores of Heaven. Walking by faith and not by sight on this earth qualifies us to be able to judge even the angels in Heaven!
Everything the Bible tells us about the life to come is only a tiny fraction of what Heaven will be like! Like an unborn baby can hear the muffled sounds of his mother's voice we know so little of Eternity!
Don't spend all your time and energy trying to understand Heaven. Instead, put your hand to the Plow of God so you will be ready to go when He calls your name!
"Lord Jesus, I can't imagine what it will be like in Heaven. But Jesus, I can know what it is like to listen to Your voice and obey every Word that comes from You today. May Your Name be praised now and forever. Amen."
