The Ellen G. White 1888 Materials: Volume 2 - Ellen G. White

me where I am; that they may behold my glory,
which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me
before the foundation of the world." Christ wills
that we should behold his glory. Where?--In the
kingdom of heaven. He wills that we should be one
with him. What a thought! How willing it makes
me to make any and every sacrifice for his sake!
He is my love, my righteousness, my comfort, my
crown of rejoicing, and he wills that we should
behold his glory. If we follow him in his
humiliation, in his self-sacrifice, in trial and test,
we shall behold him as he is, we shall see his glory;
and if we see his glory, we shall be made partakers
of it.
He says: "O righteous Father, the world hath
not known thee: but I have known thee, and these
have known that thou hast sent me." O how little
we know of him! He says the world has not known
the Father. God forbid that any of those who carry
the truth should be destitute of a knowledge of
God! O may Christ be able to say of us, "But these
have known thee!"
