The Desire of Ages
When Christ’s followers give back to the Lord His own, they are
accumulating treasure which will be given to them when they shall
hear the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant; ... enter thou
into the joy of thy Lord.” “Who for the joy that was set before Him
endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right
hand of the throne of God.”
Matthew 25:23
;
Hebrews 12:2
. The joy of
seeing souls redeemed, souls eternally saved, is the reward of all that
put their feet in the footprints of Him who said, “Follow Me.”
