"Behold, He Cometh with Clouds."

THE Bible says, “Behold, He [the Lord Jesus Christ] cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see Him” (Rev. 1:77Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. (Revelation 1:7)). Reader, you cannot escape that; you may escape the gospel, escape forgiveness of sins, justification, and God’s salvation―you may escape all these, you may hug the world, but mark you this― “every eye shall see Him.” The One who was crowned with thorns, and whom you have heard proclaimed as the Lamb of God― this One who has been out of sight for nearly two thousand years― He is coming. When? It may be at any moment.
Now there is in heaven a seated Saviour. Another hour and He may have risen up, and then, if unsaved, the knell of doom will have sounded in your ears.
An open door and a seated Saviour go together; a risen-up Saviour and a closed door go together. Do you understand? I hope so. If you do, you will say, “I will make sure of getting in at the open door by faith before He rises up to shut it.”
Oh! careless slighter of Christ, beware lest you too late see that you have despised grace, and put yourself beyond the reach of mercy. There is no time to be lost. “Behold, NOW is the accepted time; behold, NOW is the day of Salvation” (2 Cor. 6:22(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) (2 Corinthians 6:2)). If you stand before Him unsaved there will be no advocate then, no mercy. Now you may be saved. He says, “Come unto me, and I will give you rest.”
Oh! come, and that now.
