Being Ready For The Return Of Jesus Christ

The world can be a rather scary and difficult place to live at times.  There seems to be a lot of darkness in our world these days and that darkness seems to be growing rather rapidly.  It is so very easy to get discouraged and even fearful.  It is easy for us to develop a negative attitude about things that are going on and if we are not careful we can grow bitter and cynical about everything.

We must remember that we live in a fallen and sinful world that is trying to distance itself from the true living God.  We also must remember that our enemy, the devil, is stirring up trouble all over the world because he knows his time is getting extremely short because very soon the Lord Jesus Christ will return.  What a great day that will be when the Lord Jesus returns and brings the Kingdom of God to the earth in full completion.

When Jesus returns it won't be as a baby and He won't be placed in a manger.  When Christ Jesus returns at His Second Coming it will be as the King of kings and the Lord of lords and every eye shall see Him come.  It will be a great and horrible day when the Lord Jesus comes.

It will be great for all of us who have trusted in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.  Everyone of us who have trusted in His finished work on the Cross will be with Him for all eternity, but those whom have rejected His gift of salvation will be condemned and be eternally separated from Him for all eternity and placed in a literal hell.

When we look at everything going on in our world today it is very important to know that we are ready for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.  It will happen.  Jesus promised that He will return and He always keeps His promises.

Are you ready?

Lord,

We praise You.
You are Holy.
We worship You with our hands lifted high.
You alone are God.
You hold us close.
You love us.
We love You.
It is to the Cross that we cling.
We cling to You Lord Jesus.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
