Future Blessedness
The day of Christ's coming is a day of manifestation. All is n ow hidden. Christ is hidden, the saints are hidden, their life is hidden (Col. 3:3), their glory is hidden, but t hen shall Christ appear, and we shall appear with him in glory… It is a day of perfection…Here we are very weak… there is some fuit of sin continued upon the body; but then body and soul are united, and perfectly glorified to praise God in heaven… It is a day of congregation, or gathering together. The saints are now scattered, they live in various countries and ages, but then all meet in one assembly and congregation. [We have] an earnest, well-grounded expectation of blessedness to come.
