He would say with great
pride, "Oh, our company--it has so many thousands of pounds passing
through its hands every year; it carries so many hundreds of thousands of
passengers every year; and it has so many miles of railway, and so many
engines and carriages; and so many thousands in its employ!" And the mother
and the sisters had great pride in him, because he was a partner in such an
important business. Christians, if we would only rouse ourselves to believe
that we belong to the Kingdom that Christ is preparing to deliver up to the
Father, that God may be all in all, how the glory would fill our hearts,
and expel everything mean, and low, and earthly! How we should be borne
along in this blessed faith! I am living for this: that Christ may have the
Kingdom to deliver to the Father. I am living for this, and I will one day
see Him made subject to the Father, and then God all in all. I am living
for Him, and I shall be there not only as a witness, but I will have a part
in it all. The Kingdom delivered up, the Son made subject, and God all in
all! I shall have a part in it, and in adoring worship share the glory and
the blessedness.
