Welcoming Christ’s Second Coming

By Dr. Robinson

Some people are greatly frightened when the second coming of Christ is mentioned, or when it is deduced from prophecy that the great event is soon to occur. What sort of a loyal subject is he who dreads the coming of the King? What sort of a bride is she who dreads the coming of her husband? With what sublime joy and hope Job exclaims, “I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.” A Christian should be suspicious of himself if he feels afraid of that glorious day. He should rather join with the apostle in that last prayer in the Bible: “Even so, Come, Lord Jesus.”—Dr. Robinson.
