On Second Thought...

March 3

Jesus is coming back. Oh, you don’t think so? You’re not so sure? The reality is that whether you or I or any other person who puts his own musings on the subject above what the Bible says to affirm or deny the Lord’s promise to return, “This same Jesus who you see taken up from you shall return in like manner as you have seen Him go,” Acts 1:11.

The veracity of the Bible is proven, established, over centuries of being more closely scrutinized than any other book ever written. Were its infallibility not exquisitely beyond refute, today’s doubter may be sure he would find infinite substantiation for his position. It simply isn’t there.

To be on the side of truth, on the side of the One who is TRUTH, the Word of scripture must be embraced. To negate it, to deny it, to ignore it is to relegate oneself to the unfortunate position of being found without it on that last day when all men’s decisions will be weighed in the balance and those that exclude Jesus will be found wanting.

As sure as the sun will rise each morning until the end of all things is accomplished, “Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.” Are you waiting for Him to come back? On second thought, don’t you think you should be?
