The weight of the wrath of God will fall upon those who have misspent their time and served mammon instead of their Creator. If you live for God and heaven, pointing out the way of life to others, you will go onward and upward to higher and holier joys. You will be rewarded with the “Well done, thou good and faithful servant: ... enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” The joy of Christ was that of seeing souls redeemed and saved in His glorious kingdom. “Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” {4T 54.1}

Guds tunge vrede vil falde på dem som har misbrugt deres tid og tjent mammon i stedet for deres Skaber. Hvis du lever for Gud og himlen, viser livets vej for andre, vil du gå fremad og opad til højere og helligere glæder. Du vil belønnes med et »Vel, du gode og tro tjener, .... gå ind til din herres glæde.« Kristi glæde var at se sjæle genløst og frelst i sit herlige rige. Han, som, for at få den glæde, der ventede ham, udholdt korset uden at ænse skammen og som nu har taget sæde på højre side af Guds trone.
