There are more glorious Honours in The World to come, which God Thinks to confer upon the Serviceable man. During the Day of Judgment, there are amazing Honours that such a man shall be partaker of. All the Service which is now done by him, shall then be published and proclaimed throughout the whole Church Triumphant; and as we are told, 1 Pet. 1.7. shall it be found unto praise and Honour and glory, at the appearing of Jesus Christ· We have not given a Cup of Water to a Disciple of the Lord Jesus, much less have we done a piece of Service for many such, but we shall hear of it again, at That Day, which, Do thou hasten, O our God! One of the chief Things then done in the New Jerusalem, will be to recount the Services that we have here been doing of; and the Lord Jesus will then make the Streets of that Heavenly City to ring with such Notices as ⟨p. 22⟩these; Behold, what Services were done for my people, by this my Servant, when he was a Soldier in the former World! Yea, you must permit me to tell you, That the Service which is now done, will be Requited with an Admission to a far greater Service in that great Day of God; for then shall be fulfilled that Song of the Redeemed, Rev. 5.10. We shall Reign on Earth! Those dear men, whose Ambition here 'twas to be the Servants of every one, shall then be the Rulers and the Judges of the World; God will make them the Angels of the New World, as a Remuneration of their Services unto this; and they shall sit down with the Lord Jesus in his Throne. In my saying of which, I allow you to take me for such a Chiliast, as old Papias and Jrenaeus, and Justin Martyr professed themselves to be. Moreover, throughout the Days of Eternity, there are perpetual Honours to be further heaped upon such a man, unto them that are Serviceable, belongs that Consolation, in Mat. 5.12 O Rejoice, and be exceeding glad▪ for great is your Reward in Heaven. The Lord Jesus will one Day make a vast Army of them, and He Himself, as a mighty Standard Bearer, marching in the Head of them, will conduct and carry them away to those Heavenly Regions, where they shall be For ever ⟨p. 23⟩with the Lord. Says our Lord, in John 12.••. Where I am, there shall my Servant be. He will bring the Serviceable men, into those Regions of Light, where they shall be Vessels of Honour before the Immortal God for ever.
