Christ’s second coming

Aiden Wilson Tozer was an American Protestant pastor best known as the author of many books. Among them at least two, The Pursuit of God and The Knowledge of the Holy, are regarded as Christian classics. His books stress the possibility of and need for a deeper relationship with God. This extract is from Who Put Jesus on the Cross?

The people of God, Christians who are living between the

two mighty events of Christ’s incarnation and his promised

second coming, are not living in a vacuum.

It is amazing that segments in the Christian church that deny

the possibility of the imminent return of the Lord Jesus accuse

those who do believe in his soon coming of sitting around,

twiddling their thumbs, looking at the sky, and blankly hoping

for the best!

Nothing could be further from the truth. We live in the

interim between his two appearances, but we do not live in a

vacuum. We have much to do and little time in which to get it

done!

A W Tozer (1897–1963)
