The poor Christian has . . . a rich Father in whom to trust; the fullness of Jesus to supply him; the precious promises on which to depend; the Holy Spirit to be his Comforter; and a glorious inheritance to anticipate and forever dwell in!All Christians are "heirs of the kingdom"--the kingdom of grace here--and of glory hereafter;the kingdom in which Jesus will reign;the kingdom where they will be princes--yes, kings and priests;the kingdom prepared for them from the foundation of the world!My poor brother, my poor sister! Look up! Look forward!Your cottage will soon be exchanged for a kingdom!Your sickness will soon be exchanged for health!Your poverty will soon be exchanged for wealth!Your sin will soon be exchanged for perfect holiness!Your earth will soon be exchanged for Heaven!You will not always be poor! You will not be poor for long.Jesus will soon come--and then you will reign with Him!For you--an inheritance is reserved in Heaven!For you--a mansion is being prepared!For you--glory, honor, immortality, even eternal life, are in reserve.
