The Lord of Glory: Meditations on the person, the work and glory of our Lord Jesus Christ
Gaebelein, Arno Clemens
Jesus Christ -- Meditations; Jesus Christ -- Person and offices
The great congregation are the nations of the millennial age. Then
the ends of the earth will remember Him while He ruleth among the
nations. What Glory awaits Him! Now we behold Him, who was made a
little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned
with glory and honor. It is a spiritual vision; we see Him there by
faith. But a little while longer and He will appear in the Glory of
His Father bringing His co-heirs with Him, the Son bringing many
sons to glory, the sons He is not ashamed to call brethren, for whom
He was forsaken on the cross. What a procession of triumph and glory
that will be when the Heavens open and He is coming forth, bringing
His church with Him! What will be His Glory when Israel at last owns
Him and nations submit under His rule, when His visible Glory will
cover the earth as the waters cover the sea! All hail! Oh blessed,
blessed Lord!
And we do need to consider all these precious predictions, so
numerous in the Scriptures, the prophecies of His Glory. The God of
this age Satan is unfolding the glories of this present age which is
almost at the end, with a skilful master hand. He knows how to blind
the eyes not only of those who believe not, but of many who are
Christians. He makes everything so attractive and many of God's
people have fallen into his snares. We need to look through the Word
of God upon the brightness of His Glory, the glorious things to
come, so that our eyes may be blinded to the miserable playthings of
the dust, which the fire of God's vengeance will ere long consume.
We need these glorious visions of the great realities so that we can
go forward with joyfulness to suffer, be rejected of men and bear
the bright and blessed testimony, the Father expects from His
beloved children. Take up the watchword of the last days! _True to
Christ--all in Christ--all for Christ--Onward to Glory._ Soon He
will call us into His glorious presence.
"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not
worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us"
(Rom. viii:18).
"For our light affliction which is but for a moment, worketh a far
more exceeding and eternal weight of glory" (2 Cor. v:17).
Oh what will be the day when won at last
The last long weary battle, we shall come
To those eternal gates the King hath passed,
Returning from our exile to our Home;
When earth's last dust is washed from off our feet;
The last sweat from our brows is wiped away;
The hopes that made our pilgrim journey sweet
All met around us, realized that day!
Oh what will be the day, when we shall stand
Irradiate with God's eternal light;
First tread as sinless saints the sinless land,
No shade nor stain upon our garments white;
No fear, no shame upon our faces then,
No mark of sin--oh joy beyond all thought!
A son of God, a free-born citizen
Of that bright city where the curse is not!
The Exalted One.
Hebrews i.
