An abode of simple quietude and dreams 's no Paradise to him.
The Scripture use of the word rest, to denote future blessedness, is somewhat comprehensive and figurative. No doubt it denotes freedom from temp- ACTIVITY IN HEAVEN. 203 tation, — perfect exemption from fatiguing efforts, from all disturbance from without, and all disquiet from within ; but it is nowhere used to limit heav- 2nly bliss to such a blank negation. True, it doth not yet appear what we shall be, or what we shall do ; but ...free agency will be unimpaired ; the resur- rection-body will admit of strenuous activity, un- attended with weariness ; and the conditions of the heavenly state are such as demand positive and un- interrupted service of God.
We are made for activity. Holy effort is the normal state of our being, while to be idle and inert is to be apostate. Before he fell, man was placed in the garden to dress it and to keep it ; and the curse resting upon him since the fall does not con- sist in the work required, but in the weariness and discomfort which attend exertion.
