By The Tree Of Life, June 30
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to
open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by
thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.
Revelation 5:9
.
Do we expect to get to heaven at last and join the heavenly choir? Just as we
go into the grave we will come up, as far as the character is concerned....Now is
the time for washing and ironing....
John saw the throne of God and around that throne a company, and he inquired,
Who are these? The answer came, “These are they which ... have washed their
robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb” (
Revelation 7:14
). Christ
leads them to the fountains of living waters, and there is the tree of life and there
is the precious Saviour. Here is presented to us a life that measures with the life of
God. There is no pain, sorrow, sickness, or death there. All is peace and harmony
and love....
Now is the time to receive grace and strength and power to combine with our
human efforts that we can form characters for everlasting life. When we do this
we will find that the angels of God will minister unto us, and we shall be heirs of
God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. And when the last trump shall sound, and
the dead shall be called from their prison house and changed in a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye, the crowns of immortal glory shall be placed upon the heads
of the overcomers. The pearly gates will swing back for the nations that have kept
the truth and they will enter in. The conflict is ended.
“Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from
the foundation of the world” (
Matthew 25:34
). Do we want this benediction? I do,
and I believe you do. May God help you that you may fight the battles of this life
and gain a victory day by day and at last be among the number that shall cast their
crowns at Jesus’ feet and touch the golden harps and fill all heaven with sweetest
music. I want you to love my Jesus....Do not reject my Saviour, for He has paid
an infinite price for you. I see in Jesus matchless charms, and I want you to see
these charms.
