What a wondrous thought!
Jesus is now busied in Heaven in His people'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 a new heaven and a new earth. I will found a special kingdom. I will rear eternal mansions expressly for those I have redeemed with my blood!"
Orphaned pilgrims, dry your tears! Soon the sighs of a groaning and burdened creation will be heard no more. Soon He will come again, to receive those who followed Him in His cross, to be everlasting partakers with Him in His crown!
