The apostles saw Christ, but were not yet members of
His body. We are members of His
body, but do not yet see Him. These
two things, which are now separated, are to be united in the other world and,
being united, they will make us happy forever.
--John Keble, from “The Sight
of God Incarnate”, a sermon preached on an Easter Sunday. (Volume 6, sermon 12
of his collected sermons)
What a great hope indeed! And may this Easter season, with the
hope that comes from the Resurrection of Christ and of his people, be a joyous
one for all my readers.
