Even So Come (Exhortation)

In this stirring exhortation from 2000, Brother Harry Tennant reflects on Jesus’ words in Matthew 23–25, urging believers to live with watchfulness and readiness for his return. With heartfelt clarity, he shows how the disciples themselves often misunderstood Jesus, and how we too can fall into complacency or become distracted by the surface of events while missing their deeper meaning. He reminds us that Jesus spoke with tears over Jerusalem’s rejection and that his prophecy of the temple’s destruction was not just about buildings, but about the end of an entire order of worship. Brother Tennant warns against lawlessness and coldness of love in our age, urging each listener to keep faith alive through daily readings, prayer, and service. Above all, the exhortation points us to the hope of Christ’s coming, and the need to be wise and faithful servants who long for the words, “Come, ye blessed of my Father.”
