VII. Rev. 7:17. “The Lamb Which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them”

1. The Lamb of GOD will be the centre of worship to His saints to all eternity.

Upon Him they will depend for happiness.

2. They have learnt to feed on Him here in His Blessed Sacrament;

They will have full fruition there.

They have learnt to follow Him here;

They will be led by Him there, and follow Him whithersoever He goeth.

3. Here the Lamb of GOD was in the midst of the Cross.

There He is in the midst of the throne.

So have we to bear our cross here that we may sit down with Him in His throne.

4. We must learn, then, to follow Him through trouble and suffering, and to feed on Him in the Blessed Sacrament, that we may be numbered with His saints in glory everlasting.

Resolutions.—To follow JESUS through everything, in life and death.

To make my Communions more real.

Text.—“He shall feed me in a green pasture: and lead me forth beside the waters of comfort.”
