1 Peter 1:13. Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind,
Be ready to depart to your inheritance. Do not let your garments flow carelessly and loosely, as though you had no journey before you, but "gird up the loins of your mind."
1 Peter 1:13. Be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
That is a very blessed subject. There is a grace that was brought to you when Christ first came. There is another grace and a higher grace that is to be brought to you when Christ shall come the second time. Until that second coming of Christ, the church on earth and in heaven cannot be perfected. The bodies of the saints wait in the grave till he comes to give them resurrection.
"O long expected day, begin!
Dawn on these realms of woe and sin."
For we wait for thy appearing, O Christ.
