WHO ARE THE BLESSED?

By L. E. MILLNE

We read in the precious word of God that there is a company unto whom the Lord will say, “Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” Oh! to hear the lovely Jesus pronounce us blessed, will it not fill our hearts with joy unspeakable and full of glory? I think I hear you inquire, Who are the blessed? Hear ye the word of the Lord, Blessed are they that do his commandments that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. They are blessed now in the present tense, and blessed all the way along, yea, and blessed forevermore; and when Jesus comes with power and great glory to gather his jewels ye shall hear him say, Come ye blessed of my Father inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Oh! who can describe the glory that shall fill our hearts when Jesus, our adorable Redeemer, shall come to take us home to that blissful abode in Heaven.
“When all unite in unison, and sing, One grateful song to Heaven’s eternal King.”
L. E. MILLNE.
