2 Chronicles 32:1-33; Ezekiel 48:1-35; 1 John 2:12-29
What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? Genesis 24:65
Abraham’s servant was returning from Mesopotamia with Rebecca, the future bride of Isaac. The long weary days of travel in the wilderness were about to end, and Rebecca sees her bridegroom coming to meet her, and to escort her to his home. So it will be with ourselves as the Bride of Christ. Soon the weary days of wilderness travel will end, and our beloved will meet us in the air, and escort us to our heavenly home. —Willie H. Burnett
O the blessed joy of meeting, all the desert past,
O the wondrous words of greeting, He shall speak at last!
He and I together ent’ring those fair courts above;
He and I together sharing, all the Father’s love. —Gerhardt Tersteegen
