Esther 2:1-23; Zechariah 12:1-13:6; Revelation 19:1-10
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. 1 Corinthians 13:12 NKJV
Today is now, but stay focused on then. Some may see the completed Canon here but let it touch your heart in another way. Let us be humble about the spiritual light we hold firmly just now, knowing that our understanding is incomplete until then. No matter how many sleepless nights we wrestle with our trial, we will still only know in part just now. Better still, our deficit in appreciating Christ now, will soon give way to the eternal “then”, when face to face, we shall behold Him. —Peter Ramsay
What rejoicing in His presence, when are banished grief and pain;
When the crooked ways are straightened and the dark things shall be plain.
Face to face, O, blissful moment! Face to face, to see and know. —C. Ellis Breck
