My eyes are priceless! They are marvelous examples of a delicate and intricate mechanism. They are constant reminders of the Creator's wisdom and power. Through them I look out upon the world in which I live.
My eyes have been fair to me under the most exacting conditions. They have stood the test time and again. I use them constantly from waking until bedtime. In all that I have attempted, my eyes have had their part.
My eyes have enabled me to enjoy the work of artists, authors and poets. My eyes have beheld the wonders of God's creation: the birds, flowers, trees, seas, mountains, and plains.
My eyes have seen my loved ones: parents, sisters, relatives and friends. My eyes have looked on multitudes of people, among whom were some of earth's notables.
But the most marvelous sight of all is yet future! For my eyes shall one day behold the Lord Himself. The unfailing Word of God says: "Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him." Revelation 1:7. The eyes of those who believed upon Him here, shall behold Him as Savior. Yes, my eyes shall "behold the King in His beauty." They shall behold the One "Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree." 1 Peter 2:24.
But, the eyes of the unbelievers shall see Him as JUDGE. To meet Him as JUDGE will mean to perish; for as JUDGE He will have to say, "Depart from Me." "Ye will not come to Me, that ye might have life." John 5:40.
The greatest of all sights awaits my eyes! "We know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS." 1 John 3:2.
"Face to face, Oh blissful moment!
Face to face—to see and know.
Face to face with my Redeemer,
Jesus Christ, who loves me so."
Will He as Savior beam upon you in inexpressible love, or will He as JUDGE pronounce the sentence of eternal doom?
Three things YOU WILL DO:
1. Every eye shall see Christ (Rev. 1:7).
2. Every knee shall bow to Christ (Phil. 2:10).
3. Every tongue shall "confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father!' (Phil. 2:11).
Make HIM your Savior and Friend, NOW.
