One day you are going to appear before Christ in glory, and you're going to give an account your works will be tried
so the question is
What's it going to be like for you when you appear before Christ in glory?
And we think about that moment
And it thrills us right Christ in you the hope of glory that the fact that one day that we're going to have a new body
Right and says that you know we don't yet. We know not what we shall be we know that when he appears
We shall be as he is
And what a thrill that is to think that we're going to have a glorified body in Christ like his
That will be perfect that all of eternity will be laid out before us
That will be going into the millennium with Christ to rule with and reign with him over the nations and see just the most
Magnificent kingdom that ever existed set up here on earth
I mean we often think about those things and they're and they're thrilling to think about but I wonder how many of us think about
How quickly you will consider your life in the light of that moment what you accomplished here
How quickly will it turn from all the things that you are going to do to all the things you did do?

Put on the new man is that when you appear with him in glory?
When you appear you may have confidence and not be ashamed. There's going to be some people that day
Saved that's not going to change, but they're going to their God's children
But they're going to stand there, and it's going to start to slowly dawn on them that they wasted their opportunity
and you know what they're going to stand up and they're going to give an account and they're going to have to hang their head and
That realization is going to hit them like a ton of bricks
I
Wonder how long it will take a person like that to figure out that the preacher was right in that moment
How long will it go through their mind? You know what the preacher was right? I?
Should have mortified my members. I should have gotten out of fornication. I should have put off the old man
I should have walked after Christ and should have done those things
