My Daily Meditation For The Circling Year by John Henry Jowett

MARCH The Twelfth THE COMING OF THE LORD

LUKE xvii.22-32.

In a certain very real way the Lord is coming every moment. And the great art of Christian living is to be able to discern Him when He arrives. He may appear as the village carpenter; or we may |suppose Him to be one of the gardeners,| and we may mistake His appearing! He may meet us in some lowly duty, or in some seemingly unpleasant task. He may shine in the cheeriness of some triumph, or whisper to us in a message of good news. |I come again.| And if our eyes are open we shall see Him coming continually. It is by this perception that the value of our life is measured and weighed.

But He will also come again |suddenly,| when the soul will be translated into unknown climes. He will come again in the sable robes of death. Shall we know Him? Will our eyes be so keen and true that we shall be able to pierce the dark veil and say |It is the Lord!| This has been the joyful experience of countless multitudes. When the summons came their souls went forth, not as victims to encounter death, but as the bride |to meet the bridegroom!| They had intimacy with Him in life; they had glorious fellowship with Him in death!
