“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches,
and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.”
Reve-
lation 5:12
.
Christ’s followers are “accepted in the Beloved.” In the presence
of the heavenly host, the Father has ratified the covenant made with
[172]
Christ, that He will receive repentant and obedient men, and will love
them even as He loves His Son. Where the Redeemer is, there the
redeemed shall be.
The Son of God has triumphed over the prince of darkness, and
conquered death and sin. Heaven rings with voices in lofty strains
proclaiming:
“Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth
upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.”
