Yes, this is Heaven, subjectively and objectively--_purity of heart_ and "_God all in all_!" Much, doubtless, there may and will be of a subordinate kind, to intensify the bliss of the redeemed; communion with saints and angels; re-admission into the society of death-divided friends: but all these will fade before the great central glory, "God Himself shall be with them, and be their God; they shall _see his face_!" Believers have been aptly called _heliotropes_--turning their faces as the sunflower towards the Sun of Righteousness, and hanging their leaves in sadness and sorrow, when that Sun is away. It will be in heaven the emblem is complete. _There_, every flower in the heavenly garden will be turned Godwards, bathing its tints of loveliness in the glory that excelleth! Reader, may it be yours, when o'er-canopied by that cloudless sky, to know all the marvels contained in these few glowing words, "We shall be like Him, for we shall see him as He is." "AND EVERY MAN THAT HATH THIS HOPE IN HIM PURIFIETH HIMSELF EVEN AS HE IS PURE." 29TH DAY. "Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said"-- "In my Father's house are many mansions."--John xiv. 2. The Many Mansions. What a home aspect there is in this "word of Jesus!" He comforts His Church by telling them that soon their wilderness-wanderings will be finished,--the tented tabernacle suited to their present probation-state exchanged for the enduring "mansion!" Nor will it be any strange dwelling: a _Father's_ home--a _Father's_ welcome awaits them. There will be accommodation for all. Thousands have already entered its shining gates,--patriarchs, prophets, saints, martyrs, young and old, and still there is room! The pilgrim's motto on earth is, "Here we have no continuing city." Even "Sabbath tents" must be struck. Holy seasons of communion must terminate. "Arise, let us go hence!" is a summons which disturbs the sweetest moments of tranquillity in the Church below; but _in Heaven_, every believer becomes a pillar in the temple of God, and "he shall _go no more out_." Here it is but the lodging of a wayfarer turning aside to tarry for the brief night of earth. Here we are but "tenants at will;" our possessions are but moveables--ours to-day, gone to-morrow. But these many "mansions" are an inheritance incorruptible and unfading. Nothing can touch the heavenly patrimony. Once within the Father's house, and we are in the house for ever! Think, too, of Jesus, gone to _prepare_ these mansions,--"I go to prepare a place for you." What a wondrous thought--Jesus now busied in Heaven in His Church's behalf! He can find no abode in all His wide dominions, befitting as a permanent dwelling for His ransomed ones. He says, "I will make new heavens and a new earth. I will found a special kingdom--I will rear eternal mansions expressly for those I have redeemed with my blood!"
