MEN NOW LIVING WILL
SEE CHRIST COME


Men and women now are living or
this earth who are in middle life, yes
who are bowed with age, who will
see Jesus Christ coming in the clouds
of heaven with power and great glory
Overwhelming Bible evidence can be
given to show that the people now
living upon the earth will see the
glorious appearing of the Son of Coo
to take his followers with him tC
heaven, to bring to an end all sin
sorrow, pain and death, to wipe away
all tears. to Danish war from the
earth, and to bring joy and gladnes:
to those who are ready to meet him.
The scripture declares, "Chris'
was once offered to bear the sin!
Of many, and unto them that lool
for him shall he appear the secont
time, without sin, unto salvation.
Seventh day Adventists are LOOKING
for him. That is why we are called
Adventists.
Some may ask, isn't there danger
that after you have looked for Tho
coming of Christ so long, that afte'
all you may be mistaken about thi
natter" No, there is not the Slight
est chance for a mistake upon thi
important point Christ is coming
and he is coming soon. Seventh-day
Adventists never have pretended t
know Just when, for the exact time
not revealed in the bible. But tht
bible tells us the generation in which
he will come. We don't have to
guess at it.
In the oath chapter Of Matthew we
find the record of the saviour's pro.
mise that he would return. The 14tl
verse tells us: This gospel of the
kingdom shall be preached in all tn,
world, for a witness unto all nations
and then shall the end come" Wher
do Seventh-day Adventists expect the
end of the world? When the gospe
of the kingdom is preached in all ths
world. How 500 nwill that be? Well
it might have been done years ago
it might have been finished now. Tho
only reason it has not been finished
is because there were not enough o
those who loved their Lord sufficient
ly to finish it. But we have com
to the time when that message
going swiftly from nation to nation
and yet it can go more swiftly. |
is time we read that scripture will
the emphasis on the shall" 1t is
time we did the work with all the
love for perishing humanity, ant
power to reach the hearts of men
that god can give us.
Connected with Jesus return is he
coming to our names Individually, ant
settling whether we shall be received
by him when he comes. This cour
of inquiry has been in session TO
years. 1t is not yet finished. 1t i
the most important thing in our live.
to be ready for. There is just one
thing we can do, only one, which
will make us ready, and that is tC
make a complete surrender of oui
lives into the saviour's keeping, t,
give ourselves fully to him who re
deemed us, who our salvation. T
work must be done in our lives i
we are to be live and meet him
that will take time-how much tiint
only god knows Whatever time i.
needed, he will give it. Whatevel
help is needed, he will give it, if We
do this one thing of making com
plete surrender of our lives into his
keeping.
We stand facing the great event o
the ages, when the king of glory shall
again come to earth, not a helpless
babe this time, but as king Of king
and Lord of lords. What prepare
tons are being made by professet
christians for this great event? Ma,
god help us that these things ma,
not seem like twice told tales.
Very sincerely yours,
Walter Ashton
Of the Seventh-day Adventist Church
