About This Product
Excerpt- "Received up into (or, "in") glory." How lovely to see in Luke 24:50,51, the precious Savior with those disciples: "He lifted up His hands, and blessed them. And it came to pass, while He blessed them, He was parted from them, and carried up into heaven." What a glorious ending! His very last act was the blessing of the very disciples who had forsaken and fled from Him. May there be more of this spirit of Christ with us!
I believe that in these last two verses we have brought before us the responsibility that we have here in this world. We are like the model house, if we can put it in that way: The world is looking on; the angels are looking on-what do they see? Do they see that we are holding, standing for, maintaining, and speaking the truth in love? And, as they watch our lives, do they see that manifestation of the life of Jesus-Christ-like-in us? We surely have to humble ourselves that it is not always so. But, brethren, the Lord is still the same. We so often think of that lovely verse in Psa. 23, "He restoreth my soul." If these meetings cause us to get back into His presence with renewed desires to live to please Him, and for Him, and if these two verses in some measure might have their fulfillment in us individually and collectively, how it will glorify that blessed One who did everything for us. He went to Calvary out of love for us! Whenever we get discouraged. looking around at the weakness and failure, just think of that verse in 2 Thessalonians, chapter one, "He shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe." That will encourage us to go on, because that day is coming! What joy will then be ours. And, how it will rejoice His heart! I believe that the Lord's joy will exceed ours in that day. We shall see His face, and shall be satisfied. And, "He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied."
