The Continual Burnt Offering" H e who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you alt. Amen."
The last word ever heard from Heaven, the last that shall be heard until the Lord’s return, was the promise of His coming again, and that quickly, God does not count time as we do. According to His reckoning not even two days have elapsed since Jesus went away (2 Peter 3:8). Soon He will fulfill His promise. The heart that loves Him looks for Him, and responds, “Even so, come”! Till then there is grace for every moment of the way. The Old Testament closed with “a curse” because of man’s failure to keep God’s holy law. The New Testament closes with “grace,” because of Calvary. On the basis of the work accomplished there grace flows out in abundant fullness.
Grace is flowing like a river,
Millions there have been supplied;
Still it flows as fresh as ever,
From the Saviour’s wounded side;
None need perish,
All may live since Christ has died.
