Listen from:
AT 25:34{The call will be no longer, Come unto Me, all ye that are weary and heavy laden; for the weariness and the burdens that have been cast upon Jesus will be at an end forever. It will be, "Come, ye blessed!" Not "blessed" then for the first time, but "ye" whose position already is that of "the blessed of the Lord." Every one who comes to Jesus takes that glorious position, and possesses all its manifold privileges. If you are only come today for the first time, "thou art now the blessed of the Lord." You are now made kings and priests unto God by Him who loved you and washed you from your sins in His own blood. By faith in Christ Jesus you are the children of God. "And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ." He will make you inherit the throne of His glory. He has prepared not only a place, and a city, but a kingdom for you.
What then? eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard!
Wait till thou too halt fought the noble strife.
And won, through Jesus Christ, the crown of life!
Then shalt thou know the glory of the word,
Then as the stars forever—ever shine.
Beneath the King's own smile—perpetual Zenith thine!
