The Glories of the World to Come.
By L. E. Millne
“Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit.” Oh! the exceeding great and eternal weight of glory which is in reserve for all the faithful. The end of all things is at hand. Solemn and awful thought! Mercy's voice will soon be hushed forever. Soon the cry will go forth, “Thrust in the sharp sickle, for the harvest of the earth is ripe. The reaping time is coming; and whatsoever we sow we shall reap. If we sow to the Spirit, we shall reap everlasting life. Everlasting life in the kingdom of God! Oh! what mind can conceive it? What heart is large enough to comprehend the great and exceeding weight of glory? Who can tell the glory of his kingdom? Who describe the riches of the blessed inheritance? Then we shall have perfect deliverance from sin, from sorrow, from trials, and afflictions. There remaineth a rest for the people of God.” Don't you want to be there to behold the King in his beauty? Come, for all things are now ready. The marriage supper is preparing, and a special invitation is sent to you. Will you come? Will you be ready when the cry goes forth, “Behold, the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet him”? Oh! blessed day soon to appear! Oh! bright morn of Zion's glory, haste thy dawning! Dispel the shades of this dark night of sorrow. Come, Lord Jesus, and come quickly. Oh! come, and bring deliverance to thy waiting people. O dear sinner, mercy lingereth for thee. Jesus standeth at the door of thy heart, and wilt thou not bid him come in, a welcome guest?
