I was at worship and put on some music. I don’t do it often but today it seemed right. The hymn “Oh, That Will Be Glory for Me” came on and I stopped to listen to the counterpoint and harmony. I was struck by the repeated mention of the joy of looking at Jesus’ face. In my everyday thinking that seems strange. How can I understand?
As so often happens when I am thinking of the questions of life I thought of my grandchildren. I reflected of the joy of looking at my grandchildren, just sitting and watching them. This joy can multiply when they are in an attentive mood. If you don’t have grandchildren then maybe you can think about a spouse or a favorite pet.
That is just a taste of eternity.
