    THE FAITHFUL REWARDED AT HIS COMING

    It will not be in vain that they look for him, for shall appear to their salvation. Hebrews 9:28. It is in vain that they love his appearing, for a crown righteousness is laid up for such. 2 Timothy 4:8. Their faithful waiting shall be rewarded, for when he appears they shall appear with him in glory. Colossians 3:4. Their names may be cast out as evil, they may suffer reproach and scorn here, but when he comes they shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. 1 Peter 5:4.EMTF 93.2

    Words cannot describe that glory. Finite man cannot fathom its greatness; for, truly, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”EMTF 93.3

    We cannot understand why any who take the Bible for their teacher, and profess to love the Lord Jesus, can have a prejudice against his second coming. He promised his followers that they should be recompensed at the resurrection of the just, which takes place at his coming, and will never take place unless he comes. Luke 14:14. Speaking of the signs of his coming he said: “And when these things begin come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; your redemption draweth nigh.” Luke 21:28. The saints, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, are groaning for the redemption of the body. Romans 8:23. This is the redemption which will be accomplished at the coming of Christ and the resurrection of the just. The joy of that day is unspeakable. “Behold, I come quickly,” says the Saviour, “and my, reward is with me.” Fervently our hearts respond, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” Revelation 22:12, 20.EMTF 94.1
