"Come Unto Me"295 viewsThe words of the Savior bid us welcome as we enter His sanctuary. Note:
the three crosses, two in the light, one in the dark; the baptism of Jesus; John the Baptist said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world;" the dove and the vertical beam of light symbolizing the presence of the Holy Spirit and God the Father and the baptism of God the Son; the lamb in the thicket reminding us of the sacrificial substitute which god provided for Abraham and Isaac, thus foreshadowing the supreme sacrifice of God's own Son, our Lord Jesus Christ; the nail prints in the hands of the welcoming Lord; the pastoral setting of the window which, like Psalm 23 says, "The Lord is my Shepherd."

Second Coming156 viewsThe Sacred Scriptures end with the promise of the Lord Jesus: "Lo, I am coming quickly." The Bride of Christ, the Church, responds in faith, "Amen. Come, Lord Jesus, come!"
He is, indeed, going to come again. Visibly He shall return in glory, encompassed by clouds and heralded by heaven's angels. Their trumpets will sound, and all created things will behold the One who is forever called "The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords." His kingdom will last forever and ever!
"The sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us," St. Paul declares. Thus, the waiting Church sings:
The King shall come when morning dawns
And light and beauty brings.
Hail, Christ the Lord! Your people pray:
Come quickly, King of kings!
