“When we all get to glory, what a day of rejoicing that will be/ When we all see Jesus we’ll sing and shout the victory”—so goes the popular hymn. Can you imagine the victory shouts of glory? Can you imagine the day when sinning will be no more? Can you imagine the day when all will be pure and glorious at last? God has given us the victory in Christ Jesus. We have victory over sin, the devil, lies, hurt, pain, death, and hell. We have victory over ourselves, our own carnal ways. We have victory in our relationships. We have victory in our eternal trajectories. We have victory in enjoying God forever.

Think about how it will feel to finally see Jesus. I think that He’ll rejoice with each of us over the fruit, the good Christian fruit, in all of our lives. So merciful is He. I think He’ll welcome us with open arms. And then, we’ll be so happy to praise Him, the only Savior, forever. Can you imagine looking into His eyes? I’m drawn in by the thought—how beautiful His eyes will be to gaze into! How beautiful simply to observe Him and see how He acts and what He does! How majestic to see Him praised by myriad people shouting “great is the Name of the Lord!” For His Name is very great, even as He is perfect.
