Christian Experience and Teachings of Ellen G. White
Soon we shall witness the coronation of our King. Those whose lives
have been hidden with Christ, those who on this earth have fought the
good fight of faith, will shine forth with the Redeemer’s glory in the
kingdom of God.
It will not be long till we shall see Him in whom our hopes of
eternal life are centered. And in His presence, all the trials and suf-
ferings of this life will be as nothingness. “Cast not away therefore
your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. For ye have
need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might
receive the promise. For yet a little while, and He that shall come
will come, and will not tarry.”
Hebrews 10:35-37
. Look up, look up,
and let your faith continually increase. Let this faith guide you along
the narrow path that leads through the gates of the city of God into
the great beyond, the wide, unbounded future of glory that is for the
redeemed. “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the
Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the
earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter
rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the
Lord draweth nigh.”
James 5:7, 8
