man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters." These verses paint the only authentic portrait of Christ as He is and as He will be. No artist on earth has or will ever match it! We shall worship Him. "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing....And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshiped him that liveth for ever and ever" (Revelation 5:12,14). "And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God" (Revelation 22:8,9). Anne Ross Cousin wrote in her song "The Sands of Time Are Sinking": "The Bride eyes not her garment I But her dear bridegroom 's face I I will not gaze on glory I But on my King of Grace. Not at the crown He giveth I But on His pierced hand I The Lamb is all the glory / Of Immanuel' s land." In heaven we shall spend eternity worshiping our Lord and Savior. Don' t you suppose it would be a good thing to begin worshiping Him now? When you know Him as your Savior, you will bow before Him as your Lord and King.
