The Lord Is Coming
My Dear Friends,
The imminence of the Lord’s coming is filling with expectation millions of hearts today. When, oh! when is He coming, many who love Him are saying―looking up to heaven, where the coming Saviour sits, on the right hand of God, His Father. The answer comes, “Surely I come quickly.” This is the only answer to that all-important question. I see it flashing on from age to age; I read it on the forehead of the years; I see it shining on the gateways of the promises, “Surely, I come quickly.” Faith reads the words of promise on the sands of time, and sees it shining in the heavens above.
It is the Lord’s own answer to the question; the only answer He has given, the only answer He will give. There are many scriptures speaking of His coming, but the same thought runs through each, “Surely I come quickly.” “When He comes He comes for me,” the Christian says. He will wipe away every tear―take every burden from my life, and every sorrow from my heart; He will take me home, and I shall rest with Him. Oh! come, Lord Jesus, come quickly. The following extract from a letter was given me and I insert it here as it shows the rapturous joy of one well known to some of my readers, at the thought of being with Christ.
