Mark the subject of Job's devout anticipation 'I shall see God.' He does not
say, 'I shall see the saints'-though doubtless that will be untold
felicity-but, 'I shall see God.' It is not-'I shall see the pearly gates, I
shall behold the walls of jasper, I shall gaze upon the crowns of gold,' but
'I shall see God.' This is the sum and substance of heaven, this is the
joyful hope of all believers.
It is their delight to see Him now in the ordinances by faith. They love to
behold Him in communion and in prayer; but there in heaven they shall have
an open and unclouded vision, and thus seeing 'Him as He is,' shall be made
completely like Him. Likeness to God-what can we wish for more? And a sight
of God-what can we desire better? Some read the passage, 'Yet, I shall see
God in my flesh,' and find here an allusion to Christ, as the 'Word made
flesh,' and that glorious beholding of Him which shall be the splendour of
the latter days.
Whether so or not it is certain that Christ shall be the object of our
eternal vision; nor shall we ever want any joy beyond that of seeing Him.
Think not that this will be a narrow sphere for the mind to dwell in. It is
but one source of delight, but that source is infinite.
All His attributes shall be subjects for contemplation, and as He is
infinite under each aspect, there is no fear of exhaustion. His works, His
gifts, His love to us, and His glory in all His purposes, and in all His
actions, these shall make a theme which will be ever new. The patriarch
looked forward to this sight of God as a personal enjoyment.
'Whom mine eye shall behold, and not another.' Take realizing views of
heaven's bliss; think what it will be to you. 'Thine eyes shall see the King
in His beauty.' All earthly brightness fades and darkens as we gaze upon it,
but here is a brightness which can never dim, a glory which can never
fade-'I shall see God.'
