And the nature of this glory of Christ that they shall see, will be such as will draw and encourage them, for they will not only see infinite majesty and greatness; but infinite grace, condescension and mildness, and gentleness and sweetness, equal to his majesty.
For he appears in heaven, not only as "the Lion of the tribe of Judah," but as "the Lamb," and "the Lamb in the midst of the throne" (Revelation 5:5–6); and this Lamb in the midst of the throne shall be their shepherd, to "feed them, and lead them to living fountains of waters" (Revelation 7:17); so that the sight of Christ's great kingly majesty will be no terror to them; but will only serve the more to heighten their pleasure and surprise.
