Come quickly!',

"The Lord is at hand!" Philippians 4:5

Jesus is coming! 

WHEN He will come—is uncertain, therefore we should always be ready. If we realized the certainty and nearness of the Lord's coming—we would not be as ensnared by the world as we too often are. Our love would be withdrawn from present things—and we would be daily laying up treasures in heaven for ourselves. 

Jesus will come . . .
to close the present world system,
to judge the people, 
to be glorified in His saints, and
to reward every one according to his works. 

The Lord is at hand! Purposeful thinking on this fact . . .
would preserve us from temptation, 
would prevent our backsliding, and 
would deepen our seriousness and spirituality. 

The Lord is at hand! Therefore we should . . .
expect Him,
prepare for Him, and 
be found waiting, looking and longing for His appearing. 

When Jesus comes, He will . . .
complete our salvation,
destroy all our foes,
conform us to His own lovely image,
and introduce us to glory!

When Jesus comes—His people will be made completely happy! Sighs, groans, and cries—will be exchanged for eternal pleasures, songs, and triumphant hallelujahs!

Even so, come, Lord Jesus! Come quickly!
