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 enjoyed 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 will one day see the Lord Himself. The unfailing Word of God says: "Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him." Rev. 1:77Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. (Revelation 1:7).
The eyes of those who believed upon Him here will see Him as Savior. Yes, my eyes shall "behold the King in His beauty." They will see the One "who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree." 1 Peter 2:2424Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. (1 Peter 2:24).
But the eyes of the unbelievers will 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 5:4040And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. (John 5:40).
The greatest of all sights is still ahead of me. "We know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is."
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 you see Him as Savior—or as judge? Three things you will certainly do:
Do it now! Make Him your Savior and friend, now!
