He's Coming Back...
"Let the sea roar, and all its fullness; Let the field rejoice, and all that is in it. Then the trees of the woods shall rejoice before the LORD, For He is coming to judge the earth." 1 Chronicles 16:32-33
Jesus said a day would come when He would return for His own; a day when the sheep and goats shall be divided. Both God's children and the devil's children shall grow side by side, said Jesus. But, a day would come said Jesus when He would send forth the angels to remove all those who were not His own. People have long looked for the return of Jesus, many have tried to predict the exact day of His return, only to face disappointment and mockery. Jesus was clear, no one knows the day of His return except the Father. But the declaration we cling to is that, He is returning! Though we know not the day, we do have the assurance He will return. Traveling through this world can be weary and troublesome at times. Let the child of God rejoice in the fact that their name is written in Heaven, and that The Lord Jesus is coming back for them! Jesus said, "If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." Maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow, but we hold to the truth, that He is coming again!
"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up." 2 Peter 3:10
