The coming of Jesus again is certain

none of us can know. To the wicked
and unbelieving it is time of wrath
and of fear, but to them who have
come to God through him, it is the
time of their salvation in the fullest
sense. 1t is the time of resurrection
if they have died, and dead or alive
when he comes. it is the time of their
Qualification with him. 1t is the time
of their reward, for then will he set
I'D his kingdom. This is what the
apostle refers to when he speaks of
"the times of restoration of all things
whereof God spake by the mouth OF
his holy prophets"
If you have repented, if you have
turned to God in Christ, then this is
the prospect of hope and joy that is
before you. Is it not worth while
waiting for. and serving for, and suf-
fering for if need be, till the day dawn
and the day star arise in your heart?
Oh. who that has never done so will
be persuaded today, thus to turn to
God? Who will be moved by the ten
der pleadings of his mercy towards us
in Jesus Christ? To-day, if We hear
his voice, harden not your hearts"

that so there may come seasons of re-
freshing from the presence of the Lord;
and that he may send the Christ who
bath been appointed for you, even Jesus:
whom the heaven must receive until the
times of restoration of all things, whereof
God spal<e by the mouth of his holy

Messiah and the Savior of men. The
change this would produce in their
lives and in their attitude towards him
is very obvious.
Repentance means the same in your
case or mine. 1t means believing on
Jesus Christ as he is presented in the
Bible, and conforming our lives there
to.
(2) The Second Step is Remission
of Sins, that your sins may be blotted
out" the sins even of these murderers
of his Son whom he had raised from
the dead if now they would believe
on and accept him as such. And this
same promise holds good for us, no
matter what our guilt is. Though
your sins be as scarlet, they shall be
as white as snow though they be red
like crimson, they shall be as WOOL"
"Blotted OUT is the translation of
Greek word which means so much!
Xenophon and Demosthenes use it in
the sense Of "eXpunging" a thing.
Aeschylus employs it in the sense OF
"extinguish," Herodotus to plaster
over" an object, and others to wipe
out as with a sponge or cloth. Judi
cially considered in the sight of God,
there is no more trace of your sins
the moment they are covered by the
blood of Christ. And that is the mo-
ment when in repentance you receive
him as your Savior by faith. That is
what Peter means in his first epistle,
where he speaks of the abundant
mercy of God.
(3) The Third Step is Refreshing,
that so there may come seasons of
refreshing from the presence of the
Lord" 1t suggests agriculture. There
is first the blowing up of the ground
and sowing of the seed, that is re-
pentance. Then there is termination
and the coming up of the blade, then
the ear, then the full corn in the ear;
that is the blotting out Of sin, and the
entrance of the sinner upon a new
life. But following this there must
be the refreshing showers of rain to
keep everything green, and to bring
the life to its complete and beautiful
fruition.
And so in the spiritual life, God who
begins the good work in us continues
it. After we are saved and forgiven,
he does not leave us to ourselves, but
provides for our growth in grace and
in his knowledge. Times of refresh
ing are sent from his presence. On
the day of Pentecost such a refresh
ing came when the disciples were
filed with the Holy Spirit. Later on
they were filled again. The same spir-
it came on them of Samaria, upon Cor
nelius and his household, and upon
the young Christians at Ephesus. The
history of true revivals in all the CEN
turtles has been q fulfillment of this
promise. They have been times of re-
freshing to mems souls. Every sim
cere Christian of long experience can
look back over the years and count
the times when God has seemed to
open the windows of heaven to hin.
and poured out blessings on his soul.
1t is for such a time of refreshing We
plead every time we sing that familiar
verse,
Come. Holy Spirit heavenly dove,
