The Pilgrim Path---John 17: 24---(4---10---23)

“Father, I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with me where I am.”

“…BE WITH ME”

The time will come when the LORD Jesus summons us home. We will not need to be afraid. HE has prepared a grand dwelling for each of HIS own. HE wants us to “see” the glory HE has with the Father---from before the beginning of the World. My---what an invitation HE will issue. As D. L. Moody used to say, “You will receive dying grace when you need it---not until then---but you will receive it!” Wondrous will be the movement from here---to Glory! All because of the Gospel endeavors of Jesus our Savior!

From Samuel Rutherford: If Christ Jesus be the period, the end and lodging-home, at the end of your journey, there is no fear, ye go to a friend…ye may look death in the face with joy.

From William Penn: This is the comfort of the godly: the grave cannot hold them, and they live as soon as they die. For death is no more than the turning us over from time to eternity.

From St. Cyprian of Carthage: Who wouldn’t make speed to better things? Who wouldn’t wish to be transformed, renewed into Christ’s likeness, and reach more rapidly the majesty of heaven’s glory?

From John Duncan: The King of glory has conquered the king of terrors.
