ing again of the Lord Jesus Christ. Early in my Christian life I went carefully through all the messages of the Bible to grasp fully the hope of the Lord’s coming. This really is the “nerve center” of missionary ef fort. The coming of our Lord is very much nearer than most of us think. Some of the most outstanding schol ars of the Scriptures have said that it wouldn’t at all surprise them if some of the saints now living should never pass through the experience of death, but rather be alive and re main until the coming of Christ. Christ’s second coming is the cen ter focal-point of the Bible. Dr. R. A. Torrey, first dean of our Biola schools, declared forcefully, “Sud denly, unexpectedly, without pre vious announcement, the world go ing on as usual, theaters, concerts, weddings, family gatherings, prayer meetings, and everything else, sud denly our Lord shall descend on us.” How true those words of expecta tion! This brings a wonderful sim plicity to my life. We who are so much nearer to this great fulfillment, had better apply what we believe and what the Bible teaches. He is coming! He will not tarry. Keep look ing up, even to God and the Lord Jesus. If you can’t see the bright side, at least polish the dull side. It's right to be contented with what we have, never with what we are. The most tempestuous wind cannot disturb the quiet of the stars. God does not comfort us to make us comfortable but to make us comforters. No one is useless in the world who lightens the burden of it for anyone else.—Charles Dickens. Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. 30
