Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
Revelation 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
When we born again believers see Jesus face to face we will have intimate and familiar communion with Him.
Maybe we will talk about our trials and victories on this earth.
Or maybe we will be so amazed by His awesome presence that it won’t matter.
I want to see the scars in His hands and thank Him for my salvation.
1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Blind from birth, Fanny Crosby wrote about seeing Jesus face to face, no doubt the first sight she has ever seen.
Saved by Grace

“Someday the silver cord will break, — And I no more as now shall sing; — But, oh, the joy when I shall wake — Within the palace of the King!
Chorus
“And I shall see Him face to face, — And tell the story Saved by grace. — And I shall see Him face to face, — And tell the story Saved by grace.
“Someday my earthly house will fall; — I cannot tell how soon 'twill be; — But this I know, my All in All — Has now a place in heav'n for me.
“Someday, when fades the golden sun — Beneath the rosy tinted west, — My blessed Lord shall say, "Well done!" — And I shall enter into rest.
“Someday: till then I'll watch and wait, — My lamp all trimmed and burning bright, — That when my Savior ope’s the gate, — My soul to Him may take its flight.”
Fanny J. Crosby 1891
