Gird up the loins of your minds, and be sober, and hope to the end, for the Grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Our Hearts and Minds should be more taken up with the thoughts of his Coming, and the Privileges we shall have by him: 'Tis expressed by looking, longing, waiting; and Christians are often described by these acts, Tit. 3.13. Looking for the blessed hope. Phil. 3.20, 21. From whence we look for a Saviour, Heb. 10.27. We should stir up our minds to look for his Coming; and not only stir up our hopes, but our desires, 2 Tim. 4.8. To them that love his appearing; 'tis a sign and Token that he cometh with a Blessing to us: To them he cometh with a Crown of Righteousness. So for waiting, 1 Cor. 1.7. Ye come behind in no gift, waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We were converted for this end, to wait for his coming from Heaven, 1 Thes. 1.10.
