"And
I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion." --Revelation 14:1
The apostle John was privileged to look
within the gates of heaven, and in describing what he saw, he begins by saying,
"I looked, and, lo, a Lamb!" This teaches us that the chief object of
contemplation in the heavenly state is "the Lamb of God, which taketh away
the sins of the world." Nothing else attracted the apostle's attention so
much as the person of that Divine Being, who hath redeemed us by His blood. He
is the theme of the songs of all glorified spirits and holy angels. Christian,
here is joy for thee; thou hast looked, and thou hast seen the Lamb. Through
thy tears thine eyes have seen the Lamb of God taking away thy sins. Rejoice,
then. In a little while, when thine eyes shall have been wiped from tears, thou
wilt see the same Lamb exalted on His throne. It is the joy of thy heart to
hold daily fellowship with Jesus; thou shalt have the same joy to a higher
degree in heaven; thou shalt enjoy the constant vision of His presence; thou
shalt dwell with Him for ever. "I looked, and, lo, a Lamb!" Why, that
Lamb is heaven itself; for as good Rutherford says, "Heaven and Christ are
the same thing;" to be with Christ is to be in heaven, and to be in heaven
is to be with Christ. That prisoner of the Lord very sweetly writes in one of
his glowing letters--"O my Lord Jesus Christ, if I could be in heaven
without thee, it would be a hell; and if I could be in hell, and have thee
still, it would be a heaven to me, for thou art all the heaven I want." It
is true, is it not, Christian? Does not thy soul say so?
"Not all the harps above
Can
make a heavenly place,
If
God His residence remove,
Or
but conceal His face."
