Commit to Memory: “Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all peoples on earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen.” Revelation 1:7 NIV
Jesus Christ who died over two thousand years ago is coming again. He went away and promised that He’s coming back again. His first coming was when he came to reconcile man back to God from the world of sin that Adam lost to satan. His first coming was borne out of love. He loved His own (you and I) even unto death and that was why he died to set us free from the law of sin and death. His first coming was in the similitude of a loving Lamb to save, but His second coming will be in the form of a fiery Lion to Judge.
But then having completed that mission (when He came as a child to die for a world of sin), He is sitting and interceding for us (Believers) at the right hand side of God in Heaven awaiting His return for you and I. Hallelujah
How then does this concern you and I? If you are still living in sin, the implication is that He is not coming for you. Are you living a double standard life? Are you involved in things that should not be mentioned among Believers? The word of God is clear on this, if you want to return with Him when Jesus come for His people, then 2 Timothy 2:19 NLT must be your watchword, it says:
“But God’s truth stands firm like a foundation stone with this inscription: The LORD knows those who are his, and all who belong to the LORD must turn away from evil.”
Friends, let us guide our salvation jealously as it’s a personal race. Leave people alone and focus on your walk with the Lord. Remember, you are not going to give account to people but God on that great day. So leave those that make you lose hope in the return of Christ, it happened in the days of Noah and it’s a replay we see in the world today. So friends how prepared are you for this eventuality? Are you watching and waiting to meet the Lord or scared about His return?
Reflection: The sun is darkened. There is no light from the moon. Yet every eye will see the coming of Christ. Are you prepared for His return?
