October 29: 2ND COMING

Believe it:

May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23

Live it:

We can learn three lessons from today’s text.
1. The coming of Jesus will be a real event. Jesus will come; that’s the way it is. How will it happen? The Bible tells us that His coming will be audible, visible, and worldwide. It will not be “here” or “there.” It will be a single event and we will all know what it is. When people see it, there will be no doubt. Do not allow yourself to be deceived. While waiting for His coming, stay in the Word and continue your daily connection with Him.
2. Don’t focus on the time of His coming, but in being ready all the time. When will Jesus come? Many people throughout history have attached dates, but all have been disappointed. I once heard a song that said: “The day’s not so important, as the condition of my life; my main concern is my own heart, to be ready to meet our God.” What beautiful and true words these are!
3. Jesus’ coming will be soon. That hope brings joy to the heart, not fear. Those who have accepted Jesus as their Savior have no fear of His coming, but joy and happiness. Today we are nearer to His coming than we think.

Share it:

Some share the news of Jesus’ coming with a sense of alarm and fear. Today, share that news with someone in a the positive manner of one who truly loves Him.

My prayer today: for consistency in attendance

-Pray that God will keep visitors coming every night, without missing a meeting.

-Pray that God will help resolve any work-related situations the visitors may have.
