For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. (28) Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here which shall not taste of' death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom,
These verses are blended as if expressive of the same truth. Every coming of Christ is glorious, both when he comes first to awaken a soul, and in all the after visits of his grace, until he finally comes to take his redeemed home to glory. And Jesus puts his name, the Amen, the faithful witness, to the truth of it, that some then present would not, like holy Simeon, sec death until they had seen Christ's kingdom of grace, leading to a sure kingdom of glory. And this was fulfilled on the day of Pentecost, and is fulfilled in every instance of a redeemed soul, when awakened from darkness to light, and from the power of sin and Satan to the living God.
