There is no doubt a parallel intended to be drawn between the heaven of
grace and the heaven of nature. God’s way of grace is sublime and broad, and
full of his glory; in all its displays it is to be admired and studied with
diligence; both its lights and its shades are instructive; it has been
proclaimed, in a measure, to every people, and in due time will be yet more
completely published to the ends of the earth. Jesus, like a sun, dwells in the
midst of revelation, tabernacling among men in all his brightness; rejoicing,
as the Bridegroom of his church, to reveal himself to men; and, like a
champion, to win to himself renown. He makes a circuit of mercy,
blessing the remotest comers of the earth; and there are no seeking souls,
however degraded and depraved, who will be denied the comfortable warmth and
benediction of his love—even death will feel the power of his presence, and resign
the bodies of the saints, and this fallen earth will be restored to its
pristine glory.
