DAY 247 Read Ezekiel 42 and 43.
Today's reading: Ezekiel in vision saw the glory of God fill the great temple. Now we await, according to Christ's own promise, the coming of Jesus "in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels" (Luke 9:26).
Memory gem: "When the Son of man shall come in his glory and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory" (Matthew 25:31).
Thought for today:
What a day that will be! What a dawning of the morning! The night of sin will be over at last. The powers of darkness will be vanquished, with the Lord of light triumphant over all.
The coming King is on His way. There can be no doubt about that. The signs of His return are as plain as if they were written in flaming letters in the sky. Soon the glorious pageantry of His advent will burst upon our mortal sight. Streaming past the glowing constellations of the watching universe, the most sublime procession of the ages will move toward this planet for the final scenes of its tragic history. At its head will be Jesus, crowned with many crowns, as King of the ages, King of creation, King of the world, and King of kings.
What will you do then? Many will flee in fear and shame from His presence. Others will look up into His face with gladness, saying, "Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord: we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation" (Isaiah 25:9). Which will you do?
God grant that you may crown Him King in that great day--King of your heart forever!
