God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and
there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither
shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Rev. 21:4.
As we enter the kingdom of God, there to spend eternity, the trials
and the difficulties and the perplexities that we have had here will sink
into insignificance.
In the home of the redeemed there will be no tears, no funeral trains,
no badges of mourning, "The inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the
people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity." Isaiah 33:24.
One rich tide of happiness will flow and deepen as eternity rolls on. . . .
Let us consider most earnestly the blessed hereafter. Let our faith
pierce through every cloud of darkness and behold Him who died for the
sins of the world. He has opened the gates of paradise to all who receive
and believe on Him. To them He gives power to become the sons and
daughters of God. Let the afflictions which pain us so grievously become
instructive lessons, teaching us to press forward toward the mark of the
prize of our high calling in Christ. Let us be encouraged by the thought
that the Lord is soon to come. Let this hope gladden our hearts. . . .
We are homeward bound. He who loved us so much as to die for us
hath builded for us a city. The New Jerusalem is our place of rest. There
will be no sadness in the city of God. No wail of sorrow, no dirge of
crushed hopes and buried affections, will evermore be heard. Soon the
garments of heaviness will be changed for the wedding garment. Soon
we shall witness the coronation of our King. Those whose lives have
been hidden with Christ, those who on this earth have fought the good
fight of faith, will shine forth with the Redeemer's glory in the kingdom of
God.
It will not be long till we shall see Him in whom our hopes of eternal
life are centered. And in His presence, all the trials and sufferings of this
life will be as nothingness. . . . Look up, look up, and let your faith
continually increase. Let this faith guide you along the narrow path that
leads through the gates of the city of God into the great beyond, the wide,
unbounded future of glory that is for the redeemed.
