"The Spirit and the bride say, Come; and let him that
heareth say, Come; and let him that is athirst come; and whosoever
will, let him take the water of life freely."
CHRIST THE GLORY OF HEAVEN.
"For the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light
thereof." Mark, though now there shall be no need of temple, sun, or
moon, yet Christ the Lamb, or the man who was offered in sacrifice
for our redemption, shall be of use and benefit; "for the glory of
God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof." Wherefore,
all that we who are the saved shall enjoy of glory and sweetness in
another world, though we shall not enjoy it from God through Christ
by and in the ordinances, yet we shall enjoy it through Christ the
Lamb without them; for "the Lamb is the light of it."
By this word Lamb he would have us understand, that when we are in
glory, the blood, death, and bloody conquest that the man Christ did
get over our infernal enemies, will be of eternal use to us; because
that benefit of Christ shall not only for ever be the foundation of
our eternal felicity, but the burden of our song of glory in all our
raptures among the angels. It will he the blood, the blood, the
redeeming blood of the Lamb. "Blessing, and honor, and glory, and
power be unto him that sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, for
ever and ever.
