The Savior Jesus

Then we come to the name more dear than all other names, Jehovah, the Savior Jesus. God has given us a series of pictures to show us Jesus. We all shall be satisfied when we awake in His likeness, but we shall be truly satisfied here on earth if we are occupied with Him. If we get our eyes away from those around and look off unto Jesus, we shall be satisfied.
How we look forward to the meeting in the air! How we love to meditate on that day when we are going to see His face for the first time, when we are going to gaze on those wounded hands. The Apostle writes in 2 Thess. 2:1, "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him." Of course, it is unto Him up there. Every blood-bought soul is going to be caught up in a moment and gathered together unto what? A doctrine? Unto Him!
That word signifying gathering is used again in Hebrews and is only used twice in that way. We are gathered together unto Him in the air, and gathered unto Him when we remember Him. "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together." Heb. 10:25. It is the very same word, linking together the meeting in the air soon to come to pass, and the meeting on Lord's Day when we come to remember the Lord in His death. To me the Lord is just as truly there on Lord's Day as when we are going to meet Him in the air when we shall see Him with our own eyes. It is the same Lord and He is there in both places; that is why you and I should be there also.
