My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author, Karen Pimpo -  AT THIS LINK  - writes about the musical <b><i>Pilgrim</b></i> which was a musical adaptation of the book <b><i>Pilgrim’s Progress</b></i> where the character of God, dressed in white as being unseen by the other characters in the musical, but who declares that His is coming to save all who believe in Him as The King.  

It’s a simple, but eternally powerful, truth, isn’t it?  And it’s a truth upon which depends our very souls.  God is coming for those who believe in Jesus as (our) Messiah . Our king! …  I believe it !!  Do you?
