"Let not your heart be troubled", Jesus told
The eleven as He girt them for their grief:
Knowing their faith in God He could unfold
That He would be their Object of belief.
He told them, "In the Father's house there are
Many abodes"; He would prepare a place
Distinctly ours, above the highest star,
Where we shall be before the Father's face.
"I go", He told them, and the going meant
The cross, the tomb, the garden, and the throne;
He came alone; but through the way He went
The Christ our Lord did not remain alone.
For, taken from the scene where we have grieved,
It is unto Himself we are received.

Praise God that He has sent the Comforter until Christ returns for His children, to meet with us in the air, so that we shall be with Him forever more! Thank you for the beautiful poem and for your comment on Saved by Grace.
