When the Son of Man comes in His glory!''

Back to THE LOVINGNESS OF JESUS 2

(Octavius Winslow, "Evening Thoughts")

"When the Son of Man comes in His glory, 
and all the angels with Him, then He will 
sit upon His glorious throne." Matthew 25:31

Surpassing in glory all that the eye has ever 
seen, or the imagination has ever conceived, 
will be the second personal appearing of the 
Son of God.

A perfect contrast will it present to His first 
advent. Then He appeared a king, but . . . 
disguised in the form of a servant, 
without a retinue, 
without the insignia of royalty, 
without visible glory, 
His throne a cross, 
His crown the thorns, 
His sceptre a reed.

But His second coming will be in perfect 
contrast with this. He will now have thrown 
off the garment of humiliation, and will 
appear clad with the robe of majesty, the 
King acknowledged and adored.

He will come in the glory of His Divine nature. 
His Deity will now be unveiled, unclouded, and 
undenied, the "God over all, blessed for evermore!"

Angels will laud Him. 
Saints will crown Him. 
Devils fear Him. 
His enemies will bow to Him. 
Every tongue shall confess His Deity.

"When the Son of Man comes in His glory, 
and all the angels with Him, then He will 
sit upon His glorious throne." Matthew 25:31
