What are we waiting for? (C.H. Mackintosh)

1 Thessalonians 1:9-10

Scriptures: 1 Thessalonians 1     Keywords: Coming of the Lord; Hope

If you had asked a Thessalonian Christian what he was waiting for, what would have been his reply? Would he have said, “I am waiting for the world to improve by means of the gospel which I myself have received? or, I am waiting for the moment ... moreof my death when I shall go to be with Jesus?” No. His reply would have been simply this, “I am waiting for the Son of God from heaven.”
