"I Will Come Again"

By Editor

LET not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know." John 14: 1-4.

These words are the definite promise of the infinite Christ. They are plain, they are clear, they are simple. These words will be literally fulfilled. The personal Christ has spoken them, and the personal Christ will come in answer to what He Himself has said.

Views of His second coming have been given to prophet and apostle, from the days of the translated Enoch down to John, who wrote his apocalyptic vision on the isle of Patmos. The consummation of all of these great prophecies lies in this generation. We are standing in the presence of the supreme event of human history. The next truly great thing in this world's program is the second coming of Christ. In view of its importance, every other interest should be held in abeyance, and our every energy should be devoted to preparing for that great time. Eternal joys that are beyond the powers of description await those who are preparing to meet Him. 'Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation.'

Glorious hope! Has it entered into your life; and thrilled your soul with its satisfying joys?
