Thursday Rhapsody of Realities - Prepare For His Coming

And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming (1 John 2:28).

Jesus is coming back. The time is truly short. Many think that the world will continue as it is today forever; in turmoil, crises, and wickedness; no, it won't. Its end is near. Revelations 17:16 talks about the destruction of the world's religious system and structures of the last days before the coming of Christ. The Bible says they'll be destroyed in a flash, so much so, that the whole world will wonder at the rapidity.

However, the question is, "Are you getting ready for the coming of the Lord Jesus?" When some people hear that Jesus is coming soon, they become sad, and afraid to sleep, in case He shows up in the night. There's no need for fear. Just straighten up your life; that's what you should do. Keep walking in love and be ready, because "...for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh" (Matthew 24:44).

There's no need to be afraid of His coming. The Bible says, "But ye are come unto mount Zion..." (Hebrews 12:22). You were born into Zion when you were born again. You're not called to Mount Sinai, where there was judgment and fear; you're called into Zion. So, keep walking in the light of God, and you'll be ready when the Master returns in glory.

PRAYER: I thank you Lord, for the privilege of being among your elect, prepared and dressed in readiness for your imminent return! I'm fulfilling your perfect will every day, and by the Holy Spirit, I'm walking in the light, and bringing illumination to my world, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Further Study: Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
