4. Then we are brought home to his House, conducted in State to Heaven; John 14.3. Then the day is come when you shall have all that you have hoped, desired, looked for; Oh what an happy day will that be! When the great Shepherd of the Sheep shall lead his Flock into their everlasting Fold, and the Husband of the Church carry her with him into his Fathers House: John 17.24. Father, I will that those whom thou ⟨p. 60⟩hast given me, may be where I am, and behold my Glory. And his Will and Testament is made good, now we are in the outer Court; if one day in the House of God, be better than a Thousand elsewhere, Oh what is it to be brought home to God! In these blessed Mansions there we shall abide for ever, and never to part more.
5. Everlasting Cohabitation, and living with him: We shall be ever with the Lord, 1 Thes. 4.17. not get a Glimpse and away, but for ever to enjoy his presence. Christs Presence for a time upon Earth, was very sweet to his Disciples; 'twas bitter to them to think of his going from them, though it were Expedient for them; but now remain in an everlasting State of Intimacy, and Familiarity with him. Now we have a taste of Christ, but then our Communion shall be without Intermission, or Interruption; we shall be out of the Crowd and press of Troubles, and Temptations, and Sins, and study Divinity in the Lambs Face, and he will communicate himself to us according to the vastest Extent of our Capacity.
