A Crown of Righteousness

By H. Clay Trumbull

“THERE is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” There is a crown for those who look for the coming again of their Lord. Our Saviour wants not only to be remembered gratefully for what he did while on earth, but to be looked for longingly in his re-appearing. There is such a thing as thinking too exclusively of the humiliation and suffering of Jesus, and too little of his exaltation and triumph. Jesus is to come again. We ought not only to admit that he is to return, but to “love his appearing.”—H. Clay Trumbull.
