Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame. Revelation 16:15. Behold I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life (which is Christ himself,) and may enter in through the gates into the city. Surely, I come quickly. Amen! Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, Amen. Revelation 22:14; Revelation 22:20-21.
As sin, always besets us, so Christ himself and his blood, must always be our robes, else there is no peace. The heart must firmly be centered in Christ, and the centre to be fixed upon in the whole progress of inward Christianity. This is that we have forgiveness in the blood of Christ; for if this is revealed in the soul by God, himself, heaven and paradise seem to open to her.
He is a God of sovereign love,
That promised heaven to me,
And taught my thoughts to soar above
Where happy spirits be.
Prepare me, Lord, for thy right hand,
Then come the joyful day;
Come death and some celestial band,
To bear my soul away.
Haste, my beloved, fetch my soul
Up to thy blest abode;
Fly, for my spirit longs to see,
My Saviour, and my God.
