But the Redeemer's second appearing is, to the believer, an event of unmingled joyousness, whether as respects the honour of his Lord, which will then be majestically vindicated before the world which had set it at nought, or as respects his own salvation, which will then have its glorious completion. In connexion with his second appearing, the believer is privileged to regard his own death as bound up with the Redeemer's triumph, and a step to his final victory with Him.
