The Crown of
Righteousness
“Finally there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the
Lord,
the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only it
also
to all who have loved His
appearing
2 Timothy 4:8
Do you realize that the Lord will reward those who are
looking for (and loving) His Second Coming?
Dr. John Gill was asked to speak in a series of meeting in
the first Presbyterian Church in Dallas.
Entering the pastor’s study, he said to Dr. William Anderson, “Do you love His
appearing?” “Well, I’ve had no time for it because I’ve been studying His first
coming.” “Well, I just wondered if you love His appearing,” Dr. Gill said and
walked out. That got Dr. Anderson to thinking and actually revolutionized his
life and preaching.
What about you? Are you preoccupied with the “here and now”
instead of the longing for the return of the Lord?
Thought for the Day:
If you are looking
forward to the Lord’s return;
Waiting in
expectation, you will receive
The crown of
righteousness!
