He is not only our Redeemer, Advocate, and Deliverer, but our dearest Friend; and now the relationship of bride and bridegroom is about to be fully consummated.
How thrilling will be that time! By long and patient continuance in well doing, their experiences, by the grace of the Lord and through his ministration, have perfected every one of the body for this happy time, making each member beautiful, "So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him." Each member of the bride then will be permitted to see Jesus as he is and will then be like him.

Happy will be that time.

(1 John 3:2) Every one of these Christians has had some dear fellow Christian friend on earth.

He will be looking for such a one, doubtless, when he arrives in heaven.

Of course each one will look for the faithful apostles whom the Lord used to furnish the food to the household of faith.
