"EVEN SO, COME LORD JESUS"

              By A. W. Tozer

              He which testifieth these things saith, Surely
              I come quickly.  Amen.  Even so, come,  Lord Jesus.
              Revelation 22:20
 

                  The people of God ought to be the happiest
              people in all the wide world!

                  Fellow Christian, consider the source of our joy
              and delight: redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, our
              yesterdays behind us, our sin under the blood forever
              and a day, to be remembered against us no more forever!

                  God is our Father, Christ is our Brother, the Holy
              Ghost our Advocate and Comforter!

                  Our Brother has gone to the Father's house to prepare
              a place for us, leaving with us the promise that He will
              come again!

                  Don't send Moses, Lord, don't send Moses!  He broke
              the tables of stone

                  Don't send Elijah for me.  Lord!  I am afraid of Elijah
              he called down fire from heaven

                 Don't send Paul, Lord!  He is so learned that I feel like
              a little child when I read his epistles.

                  0 Lord Jesus, come yourself!  I am not afraid of Thee.
              You took the little children as lambs to your fold.  You
              forgave the woman taken in adultery.  You healed the
              timid woman who reached out in the crowd to touch
              You.  We are not afraid of You!
 
                  Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

                  Come quickly!
