“Yet a little while, and the world sees Me no more; but you see Me.” John 14:19.
Note, then, that as the text says that the world which saw Christ should soon see Him no more, so it teaches us that there are many outward privileges in religion that even worldly people enjoy that they shall soon enjoy no more, for, as they would not have the inward spiritual grace, they shall not forever have the outward and visible sign to tread beneath their feet!
As they would not receive the grace of God into their hearts in the power of it, so shall the very offers of love and the outward ministrations of mercy be withdrawn from them!
With that black foil, the gem of our text may shine the brighter. “But you see Me” you, My people; you that have believed; you who, by grace, have received the new nature. You who have passed from death unto life when the world sees Christ no more, you shall see Him in His glory! And even now, while a blind world beholds Him not, you are enjoying a sight of Him.
Let the Lord Jesus speak to your heart through this text inspired by the Holy Bible.
