Jesus is Coming Back
“Looking for the blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ” (Tit 2:13).
As each year draws to a close, let us remember that the return of our Lord draws nearer.
The prophecies regarding His first coming were all fulfilled. His birth at Bethlehem, born of a virgin, slaughter of the babies, escape to Egypt, His ministry, betrayal, crucifixion, death, and resurrection were prophesied hundreds of years before His birth.
Today we see prophecies regarding the re-gathering of Israel, the rise of Gentile nations, globalization, the increase in the number of earthquakes, the development of new diseases, the use of microchips for personal identification, being fulfilled before our very eyes.
On the religious scene, false prophets are on the rise. The Gospel continues to advance.
“So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near – at the doors!” (Matt 24:33).
However, we are looking for the coming of the Lord, whether there are signs or not. But these signs do indicate for us that we are indeed living in the last days. Jesus is truly coming back!
Be ready for His coming (24:44).
How? Be faithful and wise in serving the Lord (24:46).
When we meet Him, will we hear Him say to us, “Well done, good and faithful servant”?
What a glorious day it will be! When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be!
