MUCH more to the purpose, and more in agreement with your own expectation will it be, to speak to you about the “house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens,” which a Father’s love has provided for each beloved one, and which the power of God will put us into, presently.
If this earth is the witness by its cemeteries and graves, that life is at length overcome by death, the heavens are to be ere long the witness “that mortality is swallowed up of life.”
The risen and glorified Son of man, whom they have already received, is but the first-fruits; and presently, the caught up Church, with her Lord and Head, will give the everlasting contradiction to the law of sin and death, in the world where Adam the fallen one was a driven-out man.
The triumphs of grace at the cross, and the victories written out in resurrection life, and displayed in the unfading characters of the coming glory, many will charm your eye and rejoice your heart, as I am very sure they do.
God grant that all over your head may shine the brighter, as everything else becomes heavy and cumbrous to you where you are.
