A Sight of Christ
John 20:20
And when he had so said, he showed to them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD.


That holy man, Mr. Walsh, when the Lord revealed Himself to him, was obliged to cry, "Hold, Lord I remember I am but an earthen vessel; and if I have more of this delight I must die." One said he would like to die of that disease, and I am very much of his mind. They say, "See Naples and die"; but to improve on it, another said, "See Naples and live": and truly this is the better sight of the two. I would fain see my Lord so as to live to His praise. Oh, for such a vision as should shape my life, my thought, my whole being, till I became like my Lord! Oh, to see Him so as to be changed into His image from glory unto glory!

(C. H. Spurgeon.)
