In Christ's discourse, recorded in the 21st of Luke, he speaks of the signs which shall precede the coming of the Son of Man in a cloud, with power and great glory, and immediately adds: "When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads." Our danger is, that we shall be looking down upon the things of the world, or looking about us to consider our standing and reputation, and therefore Christ throws in the emphatic warning, "look up." Fix your eyes on the heavenly kingdom, and let your heart be raised from earth. Christians have long been looking down into the grave, and seeking strength to enable them to meet death, but now we need to look up, and have translating faith as Enoch and Elijah had.
