Following Christ Amid the Raptured Saints
"These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth" (Rev_14:4).
There is no more beautiful verse in the Bible than this. The Lord seems to draw back the curtain in order to give us a glimpse of coming scenes.
There are those who were undefiled; those who have kept their garments white; those who, ‘mid earth scenes and tribulation scenes, followed Christ fully. These will follow Him by and by.
It is worth while for us to look in and behold, through the drawn back curtain, the bliss of those who walk with Him in white.
Moses had followed Christ down here, and so had Elijah. They had experienced many a trying time. They had suffered much for their Lord. They had never counted any earth task too great an undertaking for the glory of Jehovah. God has drawn back the curtain, and allows us to see them in their glory on the transfiguration mount, as they talk with the Lord.
What will it be when we stand with Him in the glory, among the raptured ones, beholding His face? What abundance of joy will be ours, should Christ say unto us, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant". Surely our present sufferings will be nothing comparable to the glory that shall then be revealed.
