The coming of JESUS as the Saviour of HIS People, a sermon by Robert Hawker
From whence we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 3:20
THERE is an infinite degree of sweetness, in those words of the Apostle, as they concern, the true believer in Jesus. From whence we look for the Saviour. That is, not in his general character, as Judge, of the world; but in his peculiar relation, as the Saviour of his people. Not coming to judge them, as if the event of that great day of God, became a matter of doubt, and uncertainly, to the faithful; and they knew not, whether it would terminate, to the faithful; and they knew not, whether it would terminate, to their everlasting happiness, or misery; but looking for him, as their Saviour carries with it the conviction, that having known, and experienced, the certainty of his salvation, in this life; they are perfectly secured, in all the blessings connected with it, in another. Jesus having already saved them, and called them with an holy calling, they are now waiting, in full assurance of faith; that when he shall come to judge the world in righteousness, and minister true judgment to the people, they shall have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming. They have acknowledged him for their Saviour, before men upon earth. And he will acknowledge them, for his redeemed ones, before his Father, and the holy angels in heaven.
