Do You Believe the Absolute Truth that Jesus Is Coming?
“And to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.”
1 Thessalonians 1:10

Ponder This
We are on a collision course with destiny, and we cannot afford to be ignorant. The signs of Jesus’ coming are everywhere. I’ve stopped looking for the signs; I’m listening for the shout. I believe Jesus is at the door. One of the most wonderful, blessed, and biblical truths is this: His coming is imminent. That means He may come at any moment. We’re not looking for some event in history; we’re looking for Jesus Christ Himself. Do you know what the last prayer in the Bible is? “Even so, come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:20). And that ought to be our prayer today and every waking day: “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” For that’s exactly what Jesus taught us to pray: “Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10).
- How often do you think about Jesus’ promised return?
- How does remembering Jesus’ return is imminent lead us to live differently?
Practice This
Spend time this week reading Bible passages that refer to Jesus’ return (for example, Matthew 24:27-31 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
