which we give them, it is a precious day to the
saints, a day to be coveted, and to be prayed for
with all earnestness of desire.
The poor, faint-hearted Christianity of our
times can hardly contemplate it without trembling
and annoyance. Many who profess and call
themselves Christians would rather not hear about
it, and would prefer, if they had their choice, that
Christ might never come.
It was not so in the days of Christianity's
pristine vigor. Then the anxious inquiry of disciples
was, “Tell us, when shall these things be? and what
shall be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of
the world?” (Matt 24:3). “Lord, when will you
restore the Kingdom to Israel?” (Acts 1:6).
Then Christians wrote to each other in joyous
congratulation, that their citizenship was in
heaven, whence they looked for the coming of the
Saviour; and comforted one another in the
assurance that the Lord Himself is to descend from
heaven with a shout, with the voice of the
Archangel, and with the trump of God, and as
directed by their Lord, lifted up their heads, and
looked up with joyful hope at every turn in human
affairs which they could by any means construe
into a probable herald of His nearing appearance.
Then the prayer, “Your Kingdom come,” had a
depth of meaning and lively anticipation which now
has well-nigh been lost. Then “the appearing of
Jesus Christ” had a power over the soul which
made it “rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of
glory”; and the most earnest and constant call of
apostles and their followers was, “Come, Lord
Jesus; come quickly. Even so. Amen.”
Nor can the Church ever be her true self, or
enter into the true spirit of her faith, or rise to the
true sublimity of her hope, where this is not the
highest object of her deepest desire. For how,
indeed, can we regard ourselves as rightly planted
upon the apostolic foundation, if we cannot join the
heart and soul in this apostolic prayer“Even so,
come, Lord Jesus!” (Rev 22:20).
