May 3

Jesus is coming back. No matter how the scoffers may mock this promise, it is true. No matter how many years, decades, centuries, millennia, may pass until its fulfillment, the Word of the Lord is “yea and amen,” and nothing shall prevent His return.

How shall we be found at His coming? Will we who have professed faith in Him be found faithful? Will we “be about our Father’s business” when Jesus’ feet again touch earth? Or will we be living the same way as those who think the promise of His return is a fairy tale?

If we indeed embrace His return as being an irrefutable truth, that belief should govern the entirety of our lives, for souls hang in the balance. If we are not faithful to tell them, how will they know they have a Savior who has purchased their deliverance from the wage of sin that all must pay?

In Matthew 16:27 we are told, “The Son of Man shall come in the glory of His father with His angels and He will reward every man in accordance with what he has done.” Whether He comes for us individually or en masse, His return will result in our recognition of the wonder of His glorious truth!
