When I was a little child, I dreamed one night, that I was sitting in the garden waiting for the coming of the Lord Jesus. It seemed to be the day fixed for Him to come for His people, and I wanted to go too. I waited for some time, but could not see Him coming, and, at last, I found out that the Lord had indeed returned and was gone back again, but alas! I was “left behind.” O how sad I felt at the thought of being “left bind,” but someone told me, “He’s coming again tomorrow,” and I was comforted, because there was still hope for me.
Now, dear children, this was only a dream, but it is quite true the Lord Jesus will come in the clouds someday. He has not told us what day, but He has promised to come again, to receive those who love and trust Him, unto Himself.
What a happy day it will be for those who are ready when He comes for them—they shall see Him, and be like Him, and be forever with Him. O how delightful! But how very sad for those who are not ready, they will be “left behind.” How will it be with you? Some of you have fathers and mothers, some have brothers and sisters who are Christians. They will be “caught up’’ to meet Him. Will you be “left behind?”
“Yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Hebrews 10:37.
“They that were ready went in with Him to the marriage; and the door was shut.”
“Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour,” Matt. 25:10:12.
