C.H. Spurgeon
Checkbook of the Bank of Faith
A daily promise from Scripture, with Spurgeon's counsel on how to receive it — endorsed by faith and presented to God in prayer.
October 27
Rev. 22:3, 4
"His servants shall serve him: and they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads."
THREE choice blessings will be ours in the glory land.
"His servants shall serve him." No other lords shall oppress us, no other service shall distress us. We shall serve Jesus always, perfectly, without weariness, and without error. This is Heaven to a saint: in all things to serve the Lord Christ, and to be owned by him as his servant, is our soul's high ambition for eternity.
"And they shall see his face." This makes the service delightful: indeed, it is the present reward of service. We shall know our Lord, for we shall see him as he is. To see the face of Jesus is the utmost favor that the most faithful servant of the Lord can ask. What more could Moses ask than—"Let me see your face"?
"And his name shall be in their foreheads." They gaze upon their Lord until his name is photographed upon their brows. They are acknowledged by him, and they acknowledge him. The secret mark of inward grace develops into the public sign-manual of confessed relationship.
O Lord, give us these three things in their beginnings here, that we may possess them in their fullness in your own abode of bliss!
