When He is Revealed

Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. -1 John 3:2

Whatever Christ shall be, His people shall be, in happiness, riches, and honour, and together they shall take their full share. The Church, His Bride, shall sit on the same throne with Him, and of all the splendours of that eternal triumph she will have her half, for Christ is no miser to His imperial spouse, but she whom He chose before the world began, and bought with blood, and wrapped in His righteousness, and espoused to Himself forever, shall be a full partaker of all the gifts that He poses world without end. And this shall be forever; forever you shall be with Christ, forever coming to Him. When the miser’s wealth has melted; when the honours of the conqueror have been blown away or consumed like chaff in the furnace; when the sun and moon grow dim with age, and the hoary pillars of this earth begin to rock and reel with stern decay; when the angel shall have put one foot on the sea and the other on the land, and shall have sworn by Him that liveth that time shall be no more; when the ocean shall be licked up with tongues of fire, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, and the earth and all the works that are therein shall be burnt up-then, then shall you be forever with the Lord, eternally resting, eternally feasting, eternally magnifying Him; being filled with all His fullness to the utmost capacity of your enlarged being, world without end. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
