December 25
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!
