He Is Coming

SCRIPTURE

Matt. 24:3 ¶ As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

OBSERVATION

Jesus is coming again! This truth is consistently echoed from Matthew to Revelation. I cant’ speak for you but I’m ready right NOW! Eternity with Him sounds very good.
We all want an E.T.A. (Estimated time of Arrival) but God has chosen to keep the specific time to Himself. This unknown fact keeps us on our toes and causes us to depend upon Him each and every day. We are to live every day as if it were our last. There are signs, however, which indicate His return could happen at any moment. In Revelation 22:12 it says: “Behold, I am coming soon” Are you ready.

APPLICATION

If you are like me, you want to be in “The Know!” I want to know all the details; be informed of all the data, be able to speak my opinion and be prepared in my mind for any surprises. Our Christian lives, however, are to be lived on the basis of TRUST and not knowledge. As we put our faith and confidence in Jesus, we can trust him to give us the knowledge we need and determine the right time. That goes for everything else in our lives too. Timing is important. If you have been waiting a long time for God to answer your prayers, remember these four things.
1. If your prayer request is wrong He may say “NO”
2. If the timing is wrong, God will say, “SLOW”
3. If you are wrong, God will say ”GROW”
4. When the timing is right, God will say, “LET’S GO”.
