1. They shall go away from Jesus Christ; the righteous are at his side, and shall remain with him; but the wicked shall go away from him; the righteous shall go with him, and abide with him, where he is, there they shall be also; they shall be for ever with the Lord; but the wicked, must go away, and be eternally separated from his presence. The righteous shall behold his glory, and share in it; they shall see the smiles of his face, and be entertained by him with unexpressible love; but the wicked shall be thrust ⟨p. 119⟩out of his presence with frowns and indignation; it will be one great part of the misery of the wicked, that they shall go away from so glorious a person as the Lord Jesus Christ.
1. They shall go away from Iesus Christ; the righteous are at his side, and shall remain with him; but the wicked shall go away from him; the righteous shall go with him, and abide with him, where he is, there they shall be also; they shall be for ever with the Lord; but the wicked, must go away, and be eternally separated from his presence. The righteous shall behold his glory, and share in it; they shall see the smiles of his face, and be entertained by him with unexpressible love; but the wicked shall be thrust ⟨p. 119⟩out of his presence with frowns and indignation; it will be one great part of the misery of the wicked, that they shall go away from so glorious a person as the Lord Jesus Christ.
2. They shall go away from the Saints; now some of them are mingled with Gods people, the Tares and the Wheat grow up together; the sheep and the goats feed in the same pasture; and though it was bitter to the wicked to dwell with the righteous, because of the contradiction, which was in their lives, to their lusts; yet then it will be more bitter to them to be excluded their society, because then they will perceive their excellency with admiration: when they see them shine with such beauty, and rejoice with Songs of triumph, and they must be gone away from them; this will fill their hearts with racking envy, and torment them unspeakably.
