They Will See His Face

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city. One either side of the river is the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. Nothing accursed will be found there any more. But the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him; they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.

Revelation 22:1-5

What will be one of heaven’s supreme joys? How about praise that is pure?

No distractions, no insincerity, no half-heartedness. We will finally be able to fellowship full with the Father and the Son. That will be the best part of heaven.

May the prospect of heaven enable us to experience a foretaste of that God-glorifying worship even here and now.

To see Jesus will be heaven’s greatest joy.
