He Came; He Is Coming

"This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like
manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven" (Acts 1:11).

Many are celebrating our LORD's first coming this day; let us turn our thoughts
to the promise of His second coming. This is as sure as the first advent and
derives a great measure of its certainty from it. He who came as a lowly man to
serve will assuredly come to take the reward of His service. He who came to
suffer will not be slow in coming to reign.

This is our glorious hope, for we shall share His joy. Today we are in our
concealment and humiliation, even as He was while here below; but when He
cometh it will be our manifestation, even as it will be His revelation. Dead
saints shall live at His appearing. The slandered and despised shall shine
forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Then shall the saints appear
as kings and priests, and the days of their mourning shall be ended. The long
rest and inconceivable splendor of the millennial reign will be an abundant
recompense for the ages of witnessing and warring.

Oh, that the LORD would come! He is coming! He is on the road and traveling
quickly. The sound of His approach should be as music to our hearts! Ring out,
ye bells of hope!
