WHEN JESUS COMES.

Some people seem surprised at the eagerness which Adventists display for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to this earth. But why should they not be eager for His return, when that return means—
  • Reunion for the parted;
  • Health for the sick;
  • Land for the landless;
  • Habitations for the homeless;
  • Plenty for the destitute;
  • Bread for the hungry;
  • Water for the thirsty;
  • Sight for the blind;
  • Hearing for the deaf,
  • Speech for the dumb;
  • Youth for the aged;
  • Liberty for the captives;
  • Riches for the poor;
  • "Beauty for ashes;"
  • Immortality for mortality,
  • Life for the dead;
  • "The oil of joy for mourning;"
  • Peace for the troubled;
  • Rest for the weary;
  • Gladness for the sorrowing;
  • Songs for the sighing;
  • Society for the friendless;
  • Perfect bodies for the crippled;
  • Crowns for crosses;
  • Light for darkness;
  • Strength for weakness;
  • Harmony for discord;
"With an eternal inheritance in the kingdom of God for all His ransomed people"?
