His Face
“And they shall see His face” (Revelation 22:4).
“Then face to face” (1 Corinthians 13:12).
We often think about heaven and what it will be like to be there. We picture in our minds all the beautiful things that will comprise the Father’s house and the grand chorus of praise and worship that will arise from the heart and tongue of every redeemed person gathered around the Lamb.
However, as wonderful as all that will be, yet I believe that one look into the face of the Lord Jesus Christ will eclipse everything else, and whatever else we are occupied with will be in relation to that glorious person.
The Lord Jesus, when introducing this subject for the comfort of the disciples just before going to the cross, did not dwell on all the fine things that no doubt will make up the Father’s house, and no doubt we will be aware of. No, instead he said, “That where I am, there ye may be also” (John 14:3). We often say “Four walls and fine furniture don’t make a home, but the presence of those who live there.” This is certainly true in regard to the Father’s house. What will make heaven is the presence of the Lord Himself.
