Waiting for Jesus the Life-Giver
By Wm. T. Henton
Bro. White: It has been now about sixteen months since I commenced keeping all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. I can say to-day that I bless the Lord for the present truth, and give glory to his holy name for what he has done for us, and for what he is still doing for us. I feel encouraged to go on, as I see the fulfilling signs around on every hand. It is enough to encourage the follower of Christ. It is enough to encourage us to mount up above the trials of this unfriendly world. Soon our Saviour will come and will not tarry. Our Saviour told his disciples on the mount of Olives, as recorded in Matt. xxiv, that he would come again, and it would be as in the days of Noah. How was it in the days of Noah? Was he not preaching the coming of a great flood, and the destruction of all the wicked? and how few believed. Just so now. God's messengers are preaching the coming of Jesus, and how few believe. O, let us take warning by these words of our Saviour, and try to gain an inheritance in the earth made new. I can say that God is on the giving hand. Let us turn to the Lord and he will turn to us, and let us resist the Devil and he will flee from us. Yours waiting for Jesus the Life-giver.
