Let us consider most earnestly the blessed hereafter. Let our faith pierce through every cloud of darkness and behold him who died for the sins of the world. He has opened the gates of Paradise to all who receive and believe on Him.... Let the afflictions which pain us so grievously become instructive lessons, teaching us to press forward toward the mark of the prize of our high calling in Christ. Let us be encouraged by the thought that the Lord is soon to come. Let this hope gladden our hearts.... {FLB 362.3}

Lad os tænke meget alvorligt over velsignelsen herefter. Lad vor tro gennembore enhver mørk sky og beskue ham som døde for verdens synder. Han har åbnet paradisets porte for alle som tager imod Han og tror på Ham. . . . Lad de lidelser som smerter os så hårdt blive belærende lektier, der lærer os at presse på mod prismærket for vort høje kald i Kristus. Lad os blive opmuntret af tanken over at Herren snart kommer. Lad dette håb glæde vore hjerter. . . . .
