Victory

ing to life again, His great heart goes out in sympathy for man, and He
goes forth to complete the work He has begun; to rest not until the foe
is vanquished, and our fallen race redeemed.
Never can the cost of our redemption be realized until the redeemed
shall stand with the Redeemer before the throne of God. Then as the
glories of the eternal home burst upon our enraptured senses we shall
remember that Jesus left all this for us, that He not only became an
exile from the heavenly courts, but for us took the risk of failure and
eternal loss. Then we shall cast our crowns at His feet, and raise
the song, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and
riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.”
Revelation 5:12
