John 16:12-15 I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.… "I remember," says Dr. Pierre, "on my return to France, after a long voyage to India, as soon as the sailors had discerned the shores of their native country, they became in a great measure incapable of attending to the duties of the ship; some looked at it wistfully, others dressed themselves in their best clothes; some talked, others wept. As we approached their joy became greater; and still more intense was it when we came into port, and saw on the quay their parents and children; so that we had to get, according to the custom of the port, another set of sailors to bring us into the harbour. Thus would it be with God's children if they saw the full and unclouded glory of eternity before they reach the eternal heaven.
