Summary: In the land of glory, three blessings will be ours: serving Jesus perfectly without error, seeing His face, and having His name on our foreheads as a mark of our relationship with Him. These are the ultimate rewards for faithful service to the Lord. May we experience their beginnings here on earth and possess them fully in heaven. This is from a devotional by Charles Spurgeon.

Three precious blessings will be ours in the land of glory.

" Your servants will serve you ." No other lord will oppress us, no other service will afflict us. We will serve Jesus always, perfectly, without fainting, and without error. This is heaven for a saint: serving the Lord Christ in all things; and to be recognized by Him as His servant, is the lofty ambition of our soul for eternity.

" And they will see his face ." This makes service delightful: indeed, it is the present reward of service. We will know our Lord, because we will see him as he is. Seeing the face of Jesus is the supreme favor that the most faithful servant of the Lord can ask for. What more could Moses ask for than, "Please show me your glory"?

" And your name will be on their foreheads ." They contemplate their Lord until His name is photographed on their foreheads. They are recognized by Him, and they recognize Him. The secret mark of inner grace becomes manifest in the Sovereign's public signature of a confessed relationship.

O Lord, grant us these three things in their beginnings here, so that we may possess them in their fullness in Your own abode of bliss!
