The Glory Bound Train

There are two trains racing down the track, but going in opposite directions. The first is the Glory Bound Train and the second is the Judgment Bound Train. The Judgment Bound Train is loaded with the wicked — the most vile human beings on earth — but also a great crowd of decent people who refused the saving merits of Christ. The music on this train is stupefying and leaves the crowd clueless of the direction they are going. There are very few rights and wrongs, so the majority have no disturbing conscience. The depot is not far ahead and it will be a breathtaking moment when the train pulls up at the wallboard. The music will end and the gloom will last forever. By far the majority of our world is riding this fast train to sorrow. Thank God, there is a Glory Bound Train and it is moving with the speed of light. The crowd on this train are the redeemed and the music is all about the worship of the Lord and praise to Him that saved us from our sins. Their appearance is pure and modest and their language is exciting. There is no cheap talk or gossip. The women are actually dressed like ladies and the men look and act masculine. The children are respectful and treat the elderly with deep regard. As they sing of their Lord and New Jerusalem, the music actually lifts the soul upward and lingers long after the last line. This crowd knows Him of whom they worship, so the emphasis is not on how loud the music but how pure the words. They are talking to each other and recounting the day of their conversion. No one has one thought of returning to the dark sins of their past. There is a strength in their face that is greater than human. These are the chosen of the Lord and they know they will soon be in His presence. Occasionally, a shout will arise from their midst. It is not a empty shout but has a ring of genuine. This crowd will spend seven years in the greatest celebration of human existence. Then, there will be another trip but this time on horseback. We will return to rule this earth.
