Our Experience Will Reach Into Eternity, November 26
Now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I
know in part; but then I shall know even as also I am known.
1
Corinthians 13:12
.
Our life-work here is a preparation for the life eternal. The education
begun here will not be completed in this life; it will be going forward
through all eternity,—ever progressing, never completed. More and more
fully will be revealed the wisdom and love of God in the plan of redemp-
tion. The Saviour, as He leads His children to the fountains of living
waters, will impart rich stores of knowledge. And day by day the wonder-
ful works of God, the evidences of His power in creating and sustaining
the universe, will open before the mind in new beauty. In the light that
shines from the throne, mysteries will disappear, and the soul will be filled
with astonishment at the simplicity of the things that were never before
comprehended. Now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face;
now we know in part; but then we shall know even as also we are known
Think what it will mean to study through the eternal ages under the
personal instruction of Christ! Amidst the present conflicts and tempta-
tions, in this our day of probation, we are to form characters that will
prepare us to obtain a life that measures with the life of God
We are to have an eye single to the glory of God, and thus grow in
grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The
more earnestly and diligently we seek for divine wisdom, the more firmly
established we shall be in the truth
By beholding Christ, by talking of Him, by beholding the loveliness
of His character we become changed. Changed from glory to glory. And
what is glory? Character,—and he becomes changed from character to
character. Thus we see that there is a work of purification that goes on by
beholding Jesus
