The Kingdom of Christ

Converting grace makes the soul that was a wilderness, to rejoice with joy and singing, and to blossom abundantly. This is the design of the gospel. He that says to us, Be strong, has laid help for us upon One who is mighty. Assurance is given of the approach of Messiah, to take vengeance on the powers of darkness, to recompense with abundant comforts those that mourn in Zion; He will come and save. He will come again at the end of time, to punish those who have troubled his people; and to give those who were troubled such rest as will be a full reward for all their troubles.


[Matthew Henry]



Isaiah 35:1 ... The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.


Revelation 22:20 ... He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.❤
