station); they waited for His Son from heaven (expectation),
1 Thess. i:9, 10. The same is revealed in the epistle to Titus. "For
the Grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men."
That Grace accepted separates unto God.

"Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should
live soberly, righteously and godly, in this present world." This is
manifestation. The Grace of God enables us to live thus. "Looking
for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God
and our Saviour Jesus Christ." Here we have expectation. Other
similar passages could be quoted. If we divide the New Testament
Scriptures into three parts we have the same order. In the Gospels
the Grace of God in the Son of God appeared. In the Epistles we are
taught how to manifest Him by walking in the Spirit. The great New
Testament prophetic book, the Revelation, looks on towards His
Coming. And how His Coming is forgotten! How few of His people truly
wait for Him! How few pray that important and almost forgotten
prayer, Even so, Come Lord Jesus! But we must also remember that our
Lord is likewise waiting. Innumerable multitudes of disembodied
spirits who are saved by Grace are waiting in His own presence for
the moment when they will receive their resurrection bodies, which
will be when He descends from Heaven and comes into the air. The
faithful remnant of His people on earth wait for His Coming. Israel
and all creation wait for Him as well as the unseen beings in the
Heavenly. _But He Himself is waiting._ This is the testimony of the
Word of God. First it is the subject of prophecy. In the brief but
great 110th Psalm that waiting is predicted. The Christ, who is so
often seen in the Psalms and in the Prophets as King, ruling in His
earthly kingdom, whose glories in that rule are so blessedly
described, is seen in the beginning of that Psalm seated at the
right hand of God; this heavenly place will be occupied by Him till
His enemies are made His footstool. How the Holy Spirit witnessed to
this fact at once after His descent on the day of Pentecost is more
fully revealed in the second chapter of Acts. In Hebrews x:13 we
read of His waiting attitude in heaven. "But _this man_, after He
had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right
hand of God, from henceforth expecting till His enemies be made His
footstool." The better word for expecting is "waiting." We may well
emphasize the word "Man." Our
