It is said that a chaplain of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, had been preaching on the second coming of Christ. Afterward in conversation with the preacher the Queen exclaimed: "Oh, how I wish that the Lord would come in my lifetime!”
"Why," asked the chaplain, "does Your Majesty feel this very earnest desire?”
The Queen replied with quivering lips, and her whole countenance lighted up by deep emotion. "I should so love to lay my crown at His feet," was her simple but heartfelt answer.
Reader, Christ is coming, and coming soon. Are you ready?
"If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema, Maranatha" (that is, accursed at His coming). 1 Cor. 16:2222If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. (1 Corinthians 16:22).
"The gospel of Christ...
is the power of God unto
salvation to everyone
that believeth.”
