Coming Again.

By E. A. Kitteridge

THE ascension of Christ is interwoven with an intelligent promise that he will come again. No words could possibly be plainer than the message which angels brought to those grieving hearts of the little group on Olivet. "This same Jesus shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into Heaven." And this message is in perfect harmony with the repeated utterances of our Lord before his crucifixion. I have no theory upon the subject. I am satisfied with the simple word of God, and am willing to leave the theorizing to others; more than satisfied with the stupendous, glorious fact that he is coming to crush Satan and death under his feet; coming to claim his own, who will be caught up to meet him in the air; coming to reign on earth as in Heaven; coming to make earth a Heaven below.—E. A. Kitteridge.
