His servants shall serve him: and they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their forehead. (Revelation 22:3-4)


Three choice blessings will be ours in the gloryland.

"His servants shall serve him." No other lords shall oppress us, no other service shall distress us. We shall serve Jesus always, perfectly, without weariness, and without error. This is heaven to a saint: in all things to serve the Lord Christ and to be owned by Him as His servant is our soul's high ambition for eternity.

"And they shall see his face." This makes the service delightful: indeed, it is the present reward of service. We shall know our Lord, for we shall see Him as He is. To see the face of Jesus is the utmost favor that the most faithful servant of the Lord can ask. What more could Moses ask than-"Let me see thy face?"

"And his name shall be in their foreheads." They gaze upon their Lord till His name is photographed upon their brows. They are acknowledged by Him, and they acknowledge Him. The secret mark of inward grace develops into the public sign-manual of confessed relationship.

O Lord, give us these three things in their beginnings here that we may possess them in their fullness in Thine own abode of bliss!

Charles Spurgeon (From Faiths cheque book)

O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

Phil that will be glorious.

I understand Pauls answer: 'I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord"
and the answer in Romans 8 for the victory but:

"Even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body." Romans 8:23

those are nice thoughts Charles

I'm going to take just this thought with me to the market (gettin' ready for Sandy! lol).

To serve the Lord, perfectly. *happy sigh*

One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD And to meditate in His temple.
(Psalm 27:4)

Thanks, Phil.
