because they shall be employed about glorious work. 1 Cor. 6:2-3,

7. Then, the last reason why they shall appear glorious, is,

"Know you not that the saints shall judge the world?" Nay, he goes

higher, "Know you not that the saints shall judge the angels?" There

is a day coming when the saints shall judge the world. They shall be

employed in a glorious work. Therefore they shall appear glorious;

for the work in which they shall be employed shall be glorious. They

shall sit as so many fellow-judges with the Lord Jesus Christ, to say

Amen to the righteous sentence that Christ shall pass upon all

treacherous and bloody murderers. O ungodly souls, the day is

coming when those who now you have persecuted, murdered, and

destroyed, they shall sit upon thrones and shall judge you; they shall

say Amen to that glorious sentence that Christ at the last day shall

pass upon you. There is a day coming when all those who have

rejoiced in the fall of this worthy man, and those treacherous

wretches who had a hand in this unparalleled butchery, when they

shall hold up their hands at the bar of God's tribunal. There is a day

a-coming when the saints shall appear glorious, to pass a righteous

sentence upon such unrighteous, bloody wretches. That is another

reason why they shall appear in glory, because they shall be

employed in a glorious service, in judging the wicked world, however

they have been scoffed at and despised here.
