Daily Sacrifice, April 20 (32:1)
“Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice”— Isaiah 32:1.
FOR many centuries men have looked with longing for the golden age of righteousness when Christ’s kingdom will be established over all the earth and all mankind will own His benevolent yet righteous sway. There are differ-ems of opinion as to just when and how this will be brought about, but all Christians join in praying, “Thy kingdom come,” and all look forward to the triumph of truth over error, and of good over evil. When that day comes, those who have been faithful to Christ in the time of His rejection will reign with Him in the hour of His manifested glory and power. We can well afford to suffer with and for Him now in view of that which is to be our blessed portion then.
When we see Him enthroned we will never look back with regret that we have endured too much for His name’s sake during our pilgrim pathway, but will rather wish we had been more faithful and devoted, for we shall realize then the true blessedness of a life yielded wholly to the Lord Jesus Christ
