"...We have a Saviour who long ago laid down His life for us, and that life is still laid down for you and me. Do you know what He is longing for? For us to be with Him. This yearning desire fills His soul, and He can never rest satisfied until ransom brings reunion. Listen to this poignant appeal sent to us many years ago: "Leaving the first love is represented as a spiritual fall. Many have fallen thus. In every church in our land, there is needed confession, repentance, and reconversion.
The disappointment of Christ is beyond description." (RH December 15, 1904, p.8).
Yes, here is the real disappointment, the great disappointment. Think of the bridegroom waiting for the wedding while year after year goes by. Don't His people want to be with Him? God's people have just one business - to make Jesus glad, to satisfy His heart-longing..." (Ransom and Reunion, W. D. Frazee; p 118)
