Jim Hill once wrote ‘what a day that will be when my Jesus I will see.’ Another Christian song talks about ‘I can only imagine’ what it will be like when we see Jesus. Fanny Crosby wrote the words ‘I long to see my Saviour first of all’ after her years of blindness. In a lesser known hymn she wrote a song about these verses:
They tell me of a land so fair,
Unseen by mortal eyes,
Where spring in fadeless beauty blooms,
Beneath unclouded skies.
Eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard,
Neither hath it entered into the heart of man,
The things which God hath prepared for them,
Prepared for them that love Him.
All of these songs have the same notion. We can’t even begin to imagine what God has in store for those who love Him.
The problem is that we see everything with human eyes and our eyes are only capable of so much imagination. We have human limitations that God does not have. His ways our highest than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts and His plans for us are higher than we can grasp.
Jesus has gone to prepare a place for us.
So God is revealing a glimpse by His spirit through His word. Our minds still can’t fully grasp what it will be when we finally see Him – but is prepared by the God of love for people who love Him.
I can hardly wait.
