Isaiah
35:10, “And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs
and everlasting joy upon their heads:
they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee
away." Did you ever stop to think
that Christ’s peaceable kingdom will include music? Music is one of the things we have in this
life and will have in the life to come.
There aren’t very many things that we have in this life that can be
taken to heaven with us. A few of those
things are those whom we have helped to win to the Lord, other “treasures” (not
money) that the Bible teaches us that can be laid up in heaven. St. Matthew recorded that Jesus said, “Lay
not up to yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doeth corrupt,
and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures
in heaven, where neither moth or rust doeth corrupt, and where thieves do not
break through and steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be
also.” (Matthew 2:20-23)
Only the ransomed of the LORD will
be able to take music with them to the life hereafter. The Bible states that those who reign with
Christ will have music and everlasting joy upon their heads. I believe that one of the ways that God will
allow saints to obtain everlasting joy and gladness will be through music.
In heaven sorrow and sighing will
have to flee in the presence of Gods bestowed gladness and joy. I believe that this continuous gladness and
joy upon the heads of the saints will be expressed through musicing unto God
eternally. So, Christian musician be
sure to prepare yourself and those to whom you minister musically to store up
good music because I believe that it can be taken to heaven. Catechize every
Christian under your influence to music unto God in this life as a preparation
for the life to come.
