this is that which Christ prays for; First, he prays for his own glory, and then he prays for the Disciples, and all Believers, That they might be with him to see his glory.
O to see the Lord Jesus glorified as he shall be glorified, must be a glorious thing! As to see his glory in regard of the lustre of his Divinity, through his humanity; when Christ pleased to let out any lustre of his Divinity, through his humanity here, men were not able to bear it; as those that came to apprehend him, when he said, I am he, they fell down backward: now in Heaven the lustre of Christs Divinity, shall shine mightily through his humanity; so in him our bodily eyes shall come to ⟨p. 581⟩see God as much as it is possible for any creature to see him; because God shall be let out through the humanity of Christ, as much as it is possible for the Divinity to appear in any corporeal substance, or in any creature: We shall see him with these our eyes, as Job says. We shall see how the power of an infinite God can convey the lustre of a Deity into a creature. Certainly, Angels and men will be continually viewing of Christ, he shall come to be admired of the Saints, he shall be admired at the day of Judgement in the Saints, but in Heaven they shall see such excellency in Christ, God and Man, as they shall be admiring at him to all eternity, as much as they did at the first moment; here if we see any thing that is excellent, we admire at first, but after a while we do not so: but there will be so much excellency in Christ, as we shall so admire at it, to all eternity, as we did at the first moment; for there shall be no abatement of our being taken with the glory of the sight of Christ. Blessed are your eyes, says Christ, that see those things you see; and blessed are your ears that hear those things you hear: It is a blessed thing to see the things we may see here; but to see the Divinity shine through the humanity, this will be a great blessing.
