John 14:19  •  1 min. read  •  grade level: 4
 
Ques. How is it, He says, " the world seeth me no more," when every eye shall see Him?
That is, looked at in His then character, as come in grace.
Christ met all that was needed, when He came into this world; sin was there, and He was "made sin"; death was there, and He died; judgment and condemnation were outstanding against man, and Christ drank that dreadful cup, so that God has anticipated the day of judgment in the cross.
Death, the curse, sin, judgment, the power of Satan—all are over; and, as man heard from the horns of the unicorns, Christ has entered in and sat down in the glory of God. There you get the one blessed foundation for all that is new.
