Psalms 22:25. My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
Christ still praises God in the great congregation. On my way to this evening’s service, I called to see one of our dear brethren who is very ill, and I was much refreshed with a sweet thing that he said: - "When we all get to heaven, we shall feel quite at home there, for you know, sir, we have worshipped in a great congregation for these many years." And so we shall. There is something most exhilarating and refreshing in going with a multitude to keep holy day; the more, the merrier; but what shall be the joy in heaven, where the number of the redeemed cannot be counted, and all shall be continually praising God? This was one of the joys that was set before Christ, for which "he endured the cross, despising the shame."
