No wonder we read that He will be “admired [wondered at] in all that be lieve.” So stupendous and marvelous will His work in redeeming love appear, that when we see it all summed up, we shall stand aghast with amazement. Wonder of wonders—the untold millions re deemed by the blood of the Lamb and clothed in His righteousness. Chemists tell us the black bit of coal becomes the beautiful diamond. What shall we say of the power of Christ that has taken such material as Christians once were, and changed these multiplied millions of sinners into flashing diamonds at His coming? This is the crowning, marvel of marvels—the highest miracle of Christ. “His name shall be called won derful,” And don’t miss this part—“them that believed.” This is what puts men into that throng. The simple act of faith knits one to Him forever, and, kept by the poorer of God ready to be revealed, these trusting souls—often while On earth trembling, struggling, fainting souls—are they IN whom He shall be wondered at when He comes. Atheists Get Crabby Have you‘ noticed that when a man loses his faith in God and in the Christian religion he invariably begins to feel a grouch against almost everything under the sun? We note that this school of infidels are either outright atheists ,or else agnostics,1 and base their negative beliefs on the hard and unpleasant occurrences in the world of nature, says The Bible Champion. That is, they find fault with the economy of the cosmos. Instead of making the most of the hard tasks of life, and cheer fully believing that “all things work to gether for good,” they are “out of sorts” with the very nature of things. Whenever people get into the skeptical mental frame, they get a fundamental grouch. They become universal fault-finders. Nothing in the world suits their hypocritical and discontented souls. The skeptic soon lands in the country of ennui. His motto is Nil admirari, which, being liberally translated, means, “Nothing is right; the whole world is a farce.” The Walking Concordance Daniel Webster, who was called, be cause of his familiarity with the Scrip tures, “the walking concordance of the United States Senate,” said of the Bible: “I have read it through many times. I now make a practice of going through it once a year. It is the book of all others for lawyers as well as divines, and I pity the man who cannot find in it a rich sup ply of thought, and rules for conduct”
His Highest Glory “He shall coinè to be glorified in His saints and to be admired in all them that believe.”—2 Thess. 1:10. H ERE is the primary purpose of our Lord’s coming—not to render ven geance (although He will do this—v. 9), but to be glorified in His saints. Observe, too, that it is to be glorified IN them, not simply BY them. All the universe will see Him IN His people. This is the highest glory of Jesus in His coming—not the Shekinah cloud, not the dazzling throne and not the angelic hosts—but those whom He has made to share in His nature. “Christ IN you, the hope of glory.” An artist is known by his work. We look at the great painting and say, “This is the glory of Raphael.” We listen to the great symphony and say, “This is the glory of Beethoven.” What will be Christ’s glory ? He points to His handi work—“glorified IN His saints/’ “Revival Gems Number Two” is a sensation. Only ten cents per copy. Large plates and clear type.
