JESUS IS COMING SOON

 

JESUS IS COMING SOON

Luke 21:29--38

We don’t know when, but we know for a fact that Jesus is coming back to take the church out of the world. There are a lot of opinions as to how it will all play out, but one thing is for sure, Jesus is going to keep His word and come back. I personally believe it’s going to be sooner than later. Things are happening all over the world that seems to point to it Christ’s soon coming. In light of today’s Scripture, we need to take it seriously.

We must be alert for the Kingdom of God is near. 29-31 There is a spirit of anticipation in the church today. People are talking about it throughout the church. The message is too strong and loud to miss. We are looking forward to Jesus coming and taking us out of this world’s mess. Stay alert; the King is coming! Stay ready lest His coming catches you by surprise.

Be assured. Jesus assured His disciples that His words will never pass away. 32-33 Jesus is the way, truth, and life. It is impossible for Jesus to lie. He has given us His word.

Be careful. Your hearts may be weighed down. 34-35 There are two options available to us. We can look at what the world is like and the direction it is going and become very depressed. Or, we can look at things and get excited because of what is in store for us. Don’t let your heart be weighed down by life; look up for your redemption is drawing close.

Be watchful. 36 Keep your eyes open. Don’t be lulled to sleep by your daily living. Don’t be like those who are skeptical about His coming because it hasn’t happened yet. Be informed and watchful.

Be prayerful. 37-38 Stay in close fellowship with the Lord. Pray for the lost. Pray for boldness to reach out to the lost while there still is time.

Jesus is coming. It will not be when we expect it. It will happen like a flash of lighting. It behooves us to always live in readiness so that when it happens, we will be amongst those who are taken hone with Jesus when He comes.
