The apostle John was privileged to look within the gates of heaven, and in describing what he saw, he begins by saying, 'I looked, and, lo, a Lamb. This teaches us that the chief object of contemplation in the heavenly state is the Lamb of God, which takes away the sins of the world.

Nothing else attracted the apostle’s attention so much as the person of that Divine Being, who hath redeemed us by his blood. He is the theme of the songs of all glorified spirits and holy angels. Christian, here is joy for thee; thou hast looked,

↪ And thou hast seen the Lamb

Through thy tears, thine eyes have seen the Lamb of God taking away thy sins. The natural inclination to attribute ultimate life to the mother/woman simply must be overcome by a supernatural power [who], while encompassing the female, must nevertheless project a male persona. 

Rejoice, then. In a little while, when thine eyes shall have been wiped from tears, thou wilt see the same Lamb exalted on his throne. It is the joy of thy heart to hold daily fellowship with Jesus; thou shalt have the same joy to a higher degree in heaven; thou shalt enjoy the constant vision of his presence; thou shalt dwell with him forever.

I looked, and, lo, a Lamb, Why, that Lamb is heaven itself; for as good Rutherford says, Heaven and Christ are the same thing to be with Christ is to be in heaven, and to be in heaven is to be with Christ. That prisoner of the Lord very sweetly writes in one of his glowing letters—“O my Lord Jesus Christ, if I could be in heaven without thee.

It would be a hell; and if I could be in hell, and have thee still, it would be a heaven to me, for thou art all the heaven I want.” It is true, is it not, Christian. Doesn't thy soul say so to be with Christ?
