That the Lord personally comes into the air for the wondrous meeting there to fetch us into His heavenly house bespeaks love unmeasured. We know how to show honor to our friends, when we do not let them come to us as best they can but send some trusty person to conduct them, or it may be a member of the family. If greater attention were called for, the wife of the busy head might go. But if the utmost were intended, the head of the family would set aside every hindrance and come to meet the beloved and honored object. Oh how wondrous that for us the Son comes thus, as we think of Himself and of ourselves. [34]
