"When you get to heaven, Billy, what do you want to see most?" a Christian teacher asked one of her first graders. Billy thought for a moment. There was much his little heart longed for. He had heard the blessed land with its beauties, its treasures, its delicacies, spoken of frequently. "Please, teacher," the little fellow replied, "I want to see the lions, the mansions, and the angels, but most of all I want to see Jesus." Fanny J. Crosby, the hymn writer, expresses the same longing in these words: "Through the gates to the city, in a robe of spotless white, He will lead me where no tears shall ever fall; In the glad song of ages I shall mingle with delight; But I long to meet my Savior first of all." What Christian heart has not filled with the same desire? In the midst of life's turmoil and stresses have you not also longed to see your Savior?
