The Second Coming of Jesus Christ
By H. M. Butler
THERE is a second coming of Jesus Christ. It is often spoken of by the name of the “second advent.” “We believe that He will come to be our judge.” This human life of ours on earth is not intended by God, who gave it, to last forever. Here it is stamped by three dark shadows: the shadow of sin, the shadow of sorrow, and the awful shadow of death. They will not be forever. There will be a close of what is, expressively, if not unconsciously, called this earthly “scene;” and then a great change will come. Jesus Christ will be revealed, to good and bad alike, with a “glorious majesty” that may be either feared or welcomed, but can not be questioned or ignored. “Heaven and earth shall pass away; but My words shall not pass away.”—Rev. H. M. Butler.
