Who among God’s redeemed children can even faintly comprehend what it will be like when we are in glory with our blessed Lord, “when He shall come to be glorified in His saints, and to be admired in all them that believe”? What will it mean when “there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away”? What will it be when we sing that “new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth”? No, we cannot even begin to comprehend what it will be, but by faith we “reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us” at His coming. “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.”
We shall see Him in His glory,
And like Him we then shall be,
To sing and praise Him forever,
For His grace that made us free.
