THE CHRISTIAN’S HOPE I
LESSON TEXT—John 14:1*1; Revelation
S3: 14.
GOLDEN TEXT—In my Fether'e boui.
era many mansions-—John 14:3.
Hope is something this world des-
perately needs, and which it has aUj
but abandoned. Little wonder when
one recalls that the usual meaning
of hope is hardly more than “wislv*
fill thinking” without any real confl.;
dence—and that such hope aa men
have, has been only in their fellow-
men, who have so often grievously
failed them.
The Christian's hope—ah, that if
something quite different. To him
hope is certain expectation resting
on the assured Word of God. Such,
a light only shines brighter as the!
darkness deepens. As the lights ofs
men’s promises and purposes flick-j
er and die out, the hope of God’s;
people shines like a beacon in a*
dark and stormy night.
How appropriate that we should
use the last Sunday of this year to
remind one another of that hope, to
trim the lamp, as it were, for even
j brighter shining, as we cast its
beams out into the unknown year
just ahead. There are three great
| and helpful things in this lesson.
| I. A Sure Promise of Heaven
[ (John 14:1-3).
| We are not forgetting that for us
j who love the Lord there is the bless-
ed hope of His return. He is com-
, ing again (v. 3). But whether we
i have the joy of being caught up to
be with Him ,or go by way of death,
we have a sure promise of the eter-
nal dwelling place which He has
j prepared for us.
“Let not your heart be troubled”
—the very words come like the balm
of Gilead upon our restless, troubled
i lives. Faith in God and in Christ—
there we have the sure anchor of
the soul. He has promised. We
may count on His fulfillment. We
show our faith in our fellowmen by
trusting their word, even though
they often fail us. Shall we not
then fully trust the omnipotent, nev-
er-failing God?
II. A Safe Way to Heaven (John
14:4-6).
Our Saviour has not just gone be-
fore us and bade us follow as best
we may, but He is Himself the Way.
Having Christ, we have the way.
Observe that He does not say that
He is the “way-shower,” as one re-
ligious system names Him. He is
not just ah example, or the master-
teacher, or a martyr to a holy cause.
He is “the way, the truth, and the
life.”
Note, too, that no man comes toi
the Father but by Christ. Dr. WiVi
bur M. Smith points out that “the
apostle Paul in his epistles constant-
ly emphasizes the truth that we have
access to the Father only through
the Lord Jesus Christ (Rom. 5:1;
Eph. 2:13, 18; 3:15; Heb. 7:25; IP:
19-21). Jesus is not one way to God,
He is the only way to God. Men
cannot come to God through any-
one, but only through Christ."
Someone may say, “That’s very
true, and wonderful. I am a Chris-
tian, and I have Christ who is fits
way. But what is heaven like?
III. A Symbolic Picture of Heaven
(Rev. 22:1-5).
First of aU there is “life”—thn
river of life, the water of life. In
heaven there is no death, but only
eternal life, blessing, peace, and joy.
In this world man lives under thn
constant shadow of death as th# en-
emy which hurts, destroys, and »-
minds him ot sin. But in heavso
all is life through eternity.
“When wt'vs been there ten thousand rears
Bright shining si the sun.
Ws've no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when wa first begun."
Then we have what Dr. A. C.
Gaebelein calls "the seven glorief
of the redeemed" (vv. 3-5). Let u$
enumerate them. (1) “No curse”—
perfect sinlessness. (2) “The throne
of God and of the Lamb shall bn
therein”—giving perfect and bless-
ed government forever. (3) “Hia
servants shall serve him”—in per-
fect, unhindered, untiring service.
Heaven will not be idleness (perish
the thought!), but blessed and hap-
py service for God. (4) “They shall
see his face”—an eternal, undimmed
vision of God. (5) “His name shall
be on their foreheads”—speaking of
eternal ownership and possession.
(6) “There shall be night no more’’
—God is the light throughout eter-
nity. No more darkness to fear. (7)
“They shall reign forever and ever.”
Few of us would care to reign ia
this world, for that brings only sor-
row and trouble, but to reign with
Him, that indeed will be eternal
blessedness.
So then we have—a sure promsie
of a heaven to which we have a
safe way, and concerning which we
have such blessed knowledge. But
what good is the promise if we do
not accept it? What good is the way
if we do not receive Him? What
good is there in knowing about
heaven unless we are going there’
“Everybody talks about heaven,
ain't going there" sings the folk
song. Are you? Or are you only
going to talk about it?
