And now when body and soul are thus united, who can imagine what glory they both possess?  They will now be both in capacity without jarring to serve the Lord; with shouting, thanksgivings, and with a crown of everlasting joy upon their head.

In this world there cannot he the harmony and oneness of body and soul that there will he in heaven.  Here the body sometimes sins against the soul, and the soul again vexes and perplexes the body with dreadful apprehensions of the wrath and judgment of God.  While we are in this world, the body oft hangs this way, and the soul quite the contrary; but there in heaven they shall have such perfect union as never to jar more.  The glory of the body shall so suit with the glory of the soul, and both so perfectly suit with the heavenly state, that it passeth words and thoughts.

Oh sinner, what sayest thou?  How dost thou like being saved?  Doth not thy mouth water?  Doth not thy heart twitter at being saved?  Why, come then.  “The Spirit and the bride say, Come; and let him that heareth say, Come; and let him that is athirst come; and whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”

Christ the glory of heaven.

“For the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.”  Mark, though now there shall be no need of temple, sun, or moon, yet Christ the Lamb, or the man who was offered in sacrifice for our redemption, shall be of use and benefit; “for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.”  Wherefore, all that we who are the saved shall enjoy of glory and sweetness in another world, though we shall not enjoy it from God through Christ by and in the ordinances, yet we shall enjoy it through Christ the Lamb without them; for “the Lamb is the light of it.”

By this word Lamb he would have us understand, that when we are in glory, the blood, death, and bloody conquest that the man Christ did get over our infernal enemies, will be of eternal use to us; because that benefit of Christ shall not only for ever be the foundation of our eternal felicity, but the burden of our song of glory in all our raptures among the angels.  It will he the blood, the blood, the redeeming blood of the Lamb.  “Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power be unto him that sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, for ever and ever.”  It is he in whom will be found the seven eyes, the seven Spirits of God; in whose light we shall see the heights and depths of those springs and everlasting fountains and depths of glory for ever.  And indeed the conceit of the contrary is foolish.  Is not Christ the head, and we the members?  And do not the members receive their whole light, guidance, and wisdom from it?  Is not he also the price, the ground, and bottom of our happiness, both in this world and that which is to come?  And is it possible it should be forgotten, or that by it our joy, light, and heaven should not be made the sweeter to all eternity?
