Our lesson this week further presents
the glOrtes which are in store for those
who love God. 1t will be seen that the
words OF Paul given above are indeed
true In the light of what John tells lis
in the Revelation.
In the verses intervening between
those from our lesson last week and
this, John has seen many things OF
been susceptible of many meanings.
Now however, he has. a. vision which
4 is most precious and which has given
hope and courage to millions of people,
John has brought before him a scene
In heaven and sees a multitude of peO-
pie whom no man can number and they
are rejoicing with Jesus who stands
with glorified presence.
Johns attention is called to a goodlyI
number who are arrayed in white and
lie asked who they were. He is told
These are they which have come out
OF great tribulations and have washed
their robes in the blood of the Lamb
About this declaration there has grown
up a powerful presentation of the hap
piness and glories which are in store
for those who have suffered much while
In life and remained faithful. The
words have given hope, new energy,
comfort, to thousands Of people who
have felt the burdens of life pressing
heavily upon them. All of us know
what At Is to work and suffer with hope
Of reward, in rest love, money, enjoy
Ment. There is the promise that such
asathese who have borne great tribula.
tiOnss Shall have special favors. All will
recall the great glory song" which says
face that will he glory for ME. = These
lines hre Justly popular in that they
SxpreaS the feelings of SO many of us.
