By Don Ruhl

We did not see Jesus walk the streets of the Earth, nor did we hear His voice, nor did He touch us, nevertheless, John saw, heard, and felt Jesus in His glorified state, and we who follow Jesus shall have this experience someday,

Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength (Revelation 1.12–16). 

What a sight that must have been. Wow! However, if we remain faithful and overcome temptation and sin, we too shall see and hear what John saw and heard. Follow Jesus with everything that is within you.
