"Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done." Revelation 22:12

Yes, Christ Jesus is coming again and we say, "Even so come quickly Lord Jesus!" Let's look into the Scriptures for some specific words it has to say about this future event. We know that Scripture is leading us to this time from the very beginning of the Word. So I will only state a few verses, but hopefully they will cause us to make any necessary adjustments in our daily lives now.

Of Christ Jesus' Second Coming:
*It is foretold:
"And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory." Luke 21:27

At His returning to heaven it was told to those watching, "...'Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.'" Acts 1:11

*The time is unknown:
"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." Matthew 24:36

Therefore, our attitude concerning His coming must be one:
*Of Readiness:
"You too, be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect." Luke 12:40 (Also, see Matthew 24:44)

*Of Stewardship:
"And he called ten of his slaves, and gave them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business with this until I come back." Luke 19:13 (Read the whole parable Vs. 11-26)

*Of Charitableness:
"Therefore, do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts."1 Corinthians 4:5

Instead of passing judgment, we add here, Jesus' words of John 15:12, "This My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you."

*Of Blameless living:
"Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Thessalonians 5:23

*Of Perfect obedience:
"That you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Timothy 6:14

*Of Joyous expectation
"Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus." Titus 2:13

*Of Constant abiding:
"And now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming."
1 John 2:28

Therefore, beloved of God, let us be ready! As 1 Thessalonians 5 tells us, "For you are all sons of the light and sons of the day...So then, let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober (self-controlled)." Vs 5-6 "But since we are of the day, let us be sober (self-controlled), having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation." Vs. 8 (Margin note)

Thank you Lord for loving us and preparing the way for us to live with You forever! How awesome it is! How grateful we are! Praise to You forever.
Amen
