The Importance Of The Subject.<br><br>We make much of the Blessed Hope of the Lord's Coming because of its transcendent importance. As His First Coming was the great and blessed hope of the old Dispensation, His second coming is the great and blessed hope of the New.<br><br>What a marvelous contrast! He came first as a gentle lamb. He will come again as a royal Lion; first as a suffering Saviour, next as a reigning Saviour. He came first to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself, next without a sin offering unto triumphant salvation.
