For Our Comfort

By C. F. Campbell

C. F. CAMPBELL
The same God that led the Israelites through the Red Sea and over Jordan; that delivered the three worthies out of the fiery furnace, Daniel from the lions' den, and Peter out of prison; that cares for the sparrows, and numbers the very hairs of our heads, is our God to-day, the same loving, caretaking God now as in the days of old. Therefore have strong, firm, unwavering faith in his word, and stand on his side, trusting implicitly in him whatever may befall. Then some bright day when the last dark cloud has parted, when the mists upon life's sea are driven back, when its waves of sorrow and pain have been quieted by him who stilled the tempest on the Sea of Galilee, we shall enter the blessed harbor of eternal rest. Then we shall behold the King in his beauty; we shall meet our loved ones who have passed through the valley of the shadow trusting in him, and shall join with them in the triumphant song of victory and praise to him who redeemed us and washed us in the cleansing fountain of his own blood. A glorious privilege it is to become “the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.” Rom. 8:17. Truly this is a blessed hope. Then—
“Face to face with Christ my Saviour, Face to face—what will it be? When with rapture I behold him, Jesus Christ who died for me.
“Face to face shall I behold him, Far beyond the starry sky; Face to face in all his glory, I shall see him by and by!”
