The hope of future bliss
“As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.”
Psalm 17:15
Suggested Further Reading:
Revelation 7:13-17
He will be satisfied, the Psalmist says, when he wakes up in God’s likeness. Satisfaction! This is another joy for the Christian when he shall enter heaven.
Here we are never thoroughly satisfied.
True, the Christian is satisfied from himself; he has that within which is a well-spring of comfort, and he can enjoy solid satisfaction.
But heaven is the home of true and real satisfaction.
When the believer enters heaven I believe his imagination will be thoroughly satisfied.
All he has ever thought of he will there see; every holy idea will be solidified; every mighty conception will become a reality; every glorious imagination will become a tangible thing that he can see.
His imagination will not be able to think of anything better than heaven; and should he sit down through eternity, he would not be able to conceive of anything that should outshine the lustre of that glorious city.
His imagination will be satisfied.
Then his intellect will be satisfied.
“Then shall I see, and hear, and know, All I desired, or wished, below.”
Who is satisfied with his knowledge here?
Are there not secrets we want to know—depths of the secrets of nature that we have not entered?
But in that glorious state we shall know as much as we want to know. The memory will be satisfied.
We shall look back upon the vista of past years, and we shall be content with whatever we endured, or did, or suffered on earth.
“There, on a green and flowery mount, My wearied soul shall sit,
And with transporting joys recount, The labours of my feet.”
Hope will be satisfied, if there be such a thing in heaven.
We shall hope for a future eternity, and believe in it.
But we shall be satisfied as to our hope continually.
For meditation:
The difference between now and then is beyond our finest imaginations (1 Corinthians 13:12; 1 John 3:2).

knows that the true value of a sermon must lie,
not in its fashion and manner,
but in the truth which it contains.”
