Be it then your part and mine, brethren, to seek, through “the blood of
JESUS,” a meetness for this heavenly rest; so to employ the days of
preparation for it which GOD has given us, that we may indeed “call the
Sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable:” to maintain by
seasons of worship and earnest service, by Communion with Him at His
Table, and in the retirement of the closet, a living union with CHRIST
our Head, that so when our earthly Sabbaths shall have come to a close,
and the opportunities of usefulness upon earth be past, we may enter upon
that perfect worship and service, which shall develop every power and
satisfy every desire of an immortal nature, and share in the rest of that
Sabbath which shall never have an end!
