Love and Glory

Listen from:
The world will gather from our being in the glory with the Lord Jesus that we were loved with the same love wherewith the Lord Jesus was loved. Glory expresses itself outwardly, but love goes deeper still and brings one into the scene where the Father reveals Himself in His beloved Son. This is what I may call an intimate family scene outside the world, the heavenly rest and home. It is not merely brightness, glory, majesty or power. All these things will have their full display, but there is something deeper than all and which lies at the root of all. It is the love which, though it be the least entered into, yet at the same time was really before all and that to which all will turn. It is the highest of all, and it is eternal. The kingdom may terminate-the love never. The display before the world will have a beginning and an end. But as the love will never end, so it always was in the bosom of God the Father. [12]
