Face To Face!
"We shall see His face."
Revelation 22: 4
In 1951, a red-headed toddler named Ken Beeton fell into the
Manning River in Australia. He was eighteen months old. As a
nine-year-old boy named Ken Gibson was walking by, he saw
the drowning child, and managed to pull him to safety.
Nearly seventy years passed, and Beeton, 71, decided
to find out what happened to his rescuer. He tracked
down
Gibson, now 78, and the two met face to face for a reunion.
“I might not have been here without him, so I’m saying
thank you,” an emotional Beeton said, to which Gibson
smiled and replied, “You’re welcome.”
We’ve been rescued by the Stranger of Galilee who walked
past just when we were drowning in our sins. One day we’ll
see Him face to face in New Jerusalem and say, “I wouldn’t
be here without You, so I’m saying thank You.”
The Bible says we will see Him face to face
(1 Corinthians 13:12). Let’s anticipate the day
when we will physically see the face of Christ.
What a glorious thought!
"Face to face I shall behold Him, far beyond
the starry sky; / Face to face in all His glory,
I shall see Him by and by!"
