| SECOND COMING of CHRIST | 基督再來 |
| Many people will be surprised when Jesus comes again
- but nobody will be mistaken. 當耶穌再臨時，許多人都會大吃一驚 - 但沒有一個人會搞錯。 |
| The certainty of the Second
Coming of Christ should touch and tincture every part of our daily behaviour. 對基督第二次來臨的確信應該觸及並融入我們每天行為的每一部份。 |
| He that rose from the clods we expect from the
clouds. Thomas Adams 我們期盼那從土中復活的將從雲裡再來。 |
| He who loves the coming of
the Lord is not he who affirms it is far off, nor is it he who says it is near. It
is he who, awaits it with sincere faith, steadfast hope and fervent love. Augustine 那喜愛主再來的人不是那些認為那日子還遙不可及的人，也不是那些認為已經近了的人。而是以真誠的信心、堅定的盼望及火熱愛心等待的人。 |
| That day lies hid that every day we be on the watch. Augustine 我們必須天天留意那隱藏的日子。 |
| In the first advent God
veiled his divinity to prove the faithful; in the second advent he will manifest his glory
to reward their faith. Chrysostom 在第一次將臨期，上帝彰顯神性好證明祂的信實；在第二個將臨期，祂將彰顯榮耀好獎賞信徒的信心。 |
| As Christians, we should not be exitists, looking
for our going, but adventists, looking for his coming. William Freel 作為一個基督徒，我們不應該當一個下場的人，期待著下台，而是一個期待者，期望祂的再臨。 |
| Christ hath told us he will
coming, but not when, that we might never put off our clothes, or put out the candle. William Gurnall 基督告訴我們祂將再來，卻沒有告訴我們甚麼時候，因此我們永不可以脫下衣服或吹熄蠟燭。 |
| I never begin my work in the morning without
thinking that perhaps he may interrupt my work and begin his own. I am not looking
for death, I am looking for him. D. Campbell Morgan 我從不會在早上開始我的工作而不想到或許祂會中斷我的工作並開始祂的。我可不是在等死，我在等祂。 |
| Oh, that Christ would make
long strides! Oh, that he would fold up the heavens as a cloak, and shovel time and
days out of the way! Samuel Rutherford 哦，基督將會大步前來！祂會讓天如同棚子塌下來，並將一路的時間與日子一剷而空。 |
| The fact that Jesus Christ is to come again is not a
reason for star-gazing, but for working in the power of the Holy Ghost. C. H. Spurgeon 耶穌基督就要再來的事實不是讓我們占星卜卦的理由，而是讓我們能在聖靈的能力中工作。 |
| The Christian hope is not a
matter for tickling our minds, but for changing our minds and influencing society. Stephen Travis 基督徒的盼望可不是給我們的思想搔搔癢而以，而是用來改變我們的思想並影響社會的。 |
| I am daily waiting for the coming of the Son of God. George Whitefield 我天天等候上帝兒子的再臨。 |
