HOW bright and glad the spring time is! When the cold, northern blasts are over, and the soft, balmy breezes take their place all nature seems to rejoice. The sun shines brightly, the little birds sing their sweet songs; then comes the gentle rain, making the grass look fresh and green; and next, the tiny buds begin to swell, telling us that soon the bushes and the trees will put on their beautiful foliage: then comes the bright blossoms, filling the air with fragrance.
Do we not see something more than God's goodness to us in the beautiful spring time? Does it not speak to us of the eternal spring time upon which we shall enter when we go to be with the Lord Jesus ?
All will be bright and beautiful in that happy home to which all who love Jesus are going.
Here the spring time, with its freshness and its loveliness, passes away: the flowers fade and die, the grass withers, the leaves fall, and the wintry blasts return.
But there, the freshness will never fade, the beauties of that scene will never pass away. Its joys will fill our hearts, and these joys will flow on forever.
Now just one little word more. I want to tell you that Jesus, that blessed One, who has suffered for our sins, will make the brightness and the joy of all that happy scene. Think of Him, and of what we shall have when with Him, and our hearts will be as full of happiness as the spring time is full of brightness and cheer.
"THEY SUNG A 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." Rev. 5:99And they sung a 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; (Revelation 5:9).
