He encourages Christians to embrace the hope of eternal rest with Jesus, despite the challenges that may lie ahead, such as the Jordan River representing obstacles. Spurgeon emphasizes that even while some may remain on earth to serve, they can still experience the peace and joy of communion with God. He calls for believers to feed on Jesus and partake in the spiritual fruits available to them, transforming their earthly experiences into a taste of heavenly glory.
