WHAT a glorious destiny is that of redeemed man's immortality. Paul's thought seems to labor with its own vastness, in its outburst of comprehensive expression, when he exclaims, "Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." Numerous texts are employed to describe the future inheritance and glory of the redeemed, and the more fully they are meditated, the more exalted will be our conceptions, the more rapturous our emotions, in view and hope of a blessed immortality. The scripture here referred to is striking by its own contrast. These light momentary trials in this house of our pilgrimage are so related to us and the future, that if sanctified they increase and add to our eternal inheritance. And where else, in the whole range of our language, will you find a single idea that so labors for a full expression? "Glory" is itself a sublime thought, an expressive term; "an eternal weight of glory" is grander still; but the whole expression, "a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory," pours a flood of light upon that blessed world which the gospel reveals.
