WHEN CHRIST SHALL COME

Luke 21:35,36 tells us:  "For that day will come upon you all those who live on the  face of the earth.  Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man."


Study: "Jesus tells the disciples to keep a constant watch for his return.  Although nearly 2,000yrs. have passed since He spoke these words, their truth remains.  Christ is coming again, and we need to watch and be spiritually fit.  This means work faithfully at the tasks God has given us.  Don't let your mind and spirit be dulled by careless living, drinking, or the foolish pursuit of pleasure.  Don't let life's anxieties overburden you, so that you will be ready to move at God's request."


I believe I might have spoken in another blog about my own self watching the clouds for Christ's  return.  Perhaps many people do.  Yet, I often wonder if I  will still be here on this earth when He returns or will my children or their children.  No one knows if Christ will return while they are yet alive.  But, I hope whomever is still here on this earth, connected to me or not, will be waiting for Christ and Christ will find them still at work for Him, telling His story and reminding others of His incredible love for them.


I also wonder if in the past there seemed to be as many signs of Christ's return as there are now in this day and age.  How many other generations have thought the world's events were indicative of His return?  Today's events in our world seem to fit a world described in the Book of Luke.


 Luke 21:25,26."There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars.  On the earth nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.  Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken." And other leaders for Christ also made a list of signs of Christ's return: see Matthew 24:26-35 and Mark13:24-31.


I only know with certainty, "Christ is coming again!"  May you and I make ready for His return!


Looking forward to that day!  See you then!
