IN OUR picture this week we have two children looking out of the window, no doubt, watching for someone, and very likely the artist made it to illustrate what we have said, “Looking for Papa.”
With what eagerness and delight two little girls, I know, watch for their papa to come home. They stand at a different window than the one in our picture, but that will not alter the little lesson I want to bring before you.
You all know what pleasure it is to look for papa, and when he comes there is more delight than ever. This is what the Lord Jesus wants with all those who know Him as their Saviour. He desires to have us watching for Him, for He has told us that He is coming again. Coming to take us up to be forever with Himself in that bright glory above, where sin and sorrow shall never enter.
How great is the love of the Lord Jesus, not only to die for us to save us from hell, but to take us to be in the glory with Him.
Now you all know how glad you are when it is time for papa to come home, and how pleased you are to look and watch for him, because you know he loves you.
Are you as glad to think of the Lord Jesus (who loves us more than father or mother ever has or can) coming back again, and that for us?
O may we each one he looking with delight for that moment to come when we shall see our Lord and Saviour.
