Chapter 11

The Judgment Seat Of Christ

THEY who are truly "watching and keeping their garments" are blessed in that they see "the Sign of the Son of Man in the heaven," by which they are warned to trim their lamps with "the knowledge of the Deity's will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding," that, when his arrival is announced, they may go forth to meet him with all confidence and joy. They are "blessed" in being able thus to stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ, in the wilderness of Teman; but more blessed still will they be when the account they are able truthfully to render of themselves is accepted and approved; and they are pronounced by the Judge to be the blessed of his Father (Matt. 25:34); and are exalted to be sharers with him in his joy - Matt. 25:21. In this exaltation they will have attained to that perfect blessedness to which they were called in the gospel of invitation to "the marriage supper of the Lamb". They are "blessed and holy:" not blessed only, but holy likewise. "Be ye holy in all manner of conduct: because it is written, Be ye holy, for I am holy." This was their character in the days of their flesh. As such they are the Tree of Life, and the Great City, the holy Jerusalem, into which they have entered, and whose name is written upon each - Rev. 3:12. The door is yet open to all who aspire to so great and exalted a destiny; as it is written in Rev. 22:14, "Blessed they who do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." -- J. Thomas
