“Christian work is not holy because a cross is painted on it or because it borrows from reverence. It is holy because it is done well, in faith, before God and the good of neighbor. It is excellent work because of the eternal grace that fuels it.”
Our “blessed hope” is “the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.” Just as surely as Christ came once in humility, He will come again in glory. Just as he came to establish His kingdom, He will come again to crown it.
