Having dealt with the eternal state of the wicked, we now come to consider the eternal, everlasting bliss which lies ahead for the righteous. The Great Judge will say to the unbelievers, “Depart from me, ye cursed.” But he says to those who trust in him, “Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world”—Matthew 25, verse 34. How awful is that word “depart”—depart forever. But how wonderful is that word “come”—come and dwell with me forever. Jesus had comforted his disciples as he was about to leave them the night before he was crucified.
