The City of Light
There's a city of light in a far away land,
Where no death and no sorrow can come,
Where the ransomed of God will eternally dwell,
In the sweet rest and quiet of Home.
In that city of light, with its mansions so fair,
We shall walk with our Savior in white;
Not a pain, not a sigh, not a tear will be shed;
'Tis a city of purest delight.
And the Lamb is The Light of that city of gold;
No darkness will ever be there.
And nothing that ever defiles will be known,
And His loved ones His glories will share.
To that city of light soon the ransomed will go,
When His shout will be heard in the air;
And the living and dead in a moment will rise
And dwell in that city so fair.
The Man Christ Jesus
Luke 24 LUK 24
In this closing chapter of Luke, the Blessed One is seen expounding to those sorrowful travelers, in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.
We are told that their eyes were holden, that they should not know Him. There was a distinct purpose of God in their eyes being holden, as we shall see presently, but the Blessed One is seen here connecting the Scriptures with Himself, and all that happened to Himself.
It is a blessed thing to hold fast to all this grace of the heart of Christ. He will never give up even the feeblest of His own. He does not leave them. He does not say, I leave you now; you have turned away; you have become hard in your hearts. On the contrary, as we have seen, He went after them; He journeyed with them.
What is He doing all this time? Just what He always does. He is making Himself necessary to them, indispensable to them. There is only One that is indispensable to us, and that is Jesus. There is only One worthy of that place in our souls, and that is Christ. There is not a thing in this world we could not do without, but you cannot do without Him. He is truly the indispensable One. We often think we can manage without Him, and then in all His blessed love He allows us to find out our insufficiency, and deals with us in His love, and leads us to discover that we cannot do without Him, and thus we sing
As weaker than a bruised reed,
We cannot do without Thee;
We want Thee here each hour of need,
Shall want Thee too in glory.
