This will be an enlargement, or freedom from sin, from all temptations to it, from its dominion, from the commission of it, from the very inbeing of it. Now shall that promise have its accomplishment, _There shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord_—from Satan and his temptations, from evil men, they that offend will be gathered out of this kingdom, from bodily afflictions; _the Inhabitants shall no more say I am sick_—here we shall be at liberty, enjoy Father, Son, and Spirit; hold fellowship with him without interruption, be favored with clear apprehensions of his perfections and glory, as they shine in Christ. Then we shall see, love, admire, and adore the Lamb in the midst of the throne—see the glory of his person, with the eyes of the soul, and his body with our bodily eyes—the glory of his human nature: see him in that nature that bore our sins, wearing the very marks and scars he received for us; that dear head that was once crowned with thorns! that dear face that was once marred more than any! those dear hands, feet, and side, that were wounded! We shall then see him in all his glory—_This is the joy set before us_, for which we endure the cross; we shall see him as he is, and be like him for ever—_This is the glory to be revealed in the saints_, beyond all comparison; this will be a joy unspeakable, and full of glory. How sweet the promise, _The ransomed of the Lord shall return_, _and come to Zion with songs_, _and everlasting joy upon their heads_; _they shall obtain joy and gladness_, _and sorrow and sighing shall flee away_! This shall be the high priviledge of every vessel of mercy. I close this Sermon with an excellent quotation from Mr. _Huntington’s_ “Spiritual Sea Voyage;” which book has often entertained me. “Free grace and her crew all arrived at last, No sailor was miss’d, when the muster was past; By thousands and millions the angels appear’d, And welcomed us with the anthems we heard. We sung of Redemption, in Jesus the Lord— Of sovereign Love, and how we were restor’d— The dangers we met, and the helps that appear’d— Of infinite Wisdom, by which we were steer’d. Delightful the Union, and great was the throng, The melody charming, delightful the song: An order came forth for ascending the throne, And when we were seated the judgment came on.”
