As Heirs, We Inherit the Kingdom

As Heirs, We Inherit the Kingdom 

     Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you
from the foundation of the world. Matt. 25:34  

     Before the ransomed throng is the holy city. Jesus opens wide the
pearly gates, and the nations that have kept the truth enter in. There
they behold the Paradise of God, the home of Adam in his innocency. Then
that voice, richer than any music that ever fell on mortal ear, is
heard, saying, "Your conflict is ended." "Come, ye blessed of My Father,
inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world."


     Now is fulfilled the Saviour's prayer for His disciples, "I will
that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am."
"Faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy," Christ
presents to the Father the purchase of His blood, declaring, "Here am I,
and the children whom Thou hast given Me." "Those that Thou gavest Me I
have kept." Oh, the wonders of redeeming love! the rapture of that hour
when the infinite Father, looking upon the ransomed, shall behold His
image, sin's discord banished, its blight removed, the human once more
in harmony with the divine!  

     Then the redeemed will be welcomed to the home that Jesus is
preparing for them. . . . They will associate with those who have
overcome Satan and through divine grace have formed perfect characters.
Every sinful tendency, every imperfection, that afflicts them here, has
been removed by the blood of Christ, and the excellence and brightness
of His glory, far exceeding the brightness of the sun, is imparted to
them. And the moral beauty, the perfection of His character, shines
through them in worth far exceeding this outward splendor. They are
without fault before the great white throne, sharing the dignity and the
privileges of the angels.
