Devotion for Today

He's Coming Back

January 6, 2013

Keep as sharp lookout! For you do not know when I will come. . . Watch for my return!
–Mark 13:35, 36 (TLB)

The great Dwight L. Moody used to say, “I never preached a sermon without thinking that possibility the Lord may come before I preach another.” Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, the distinguished British clergy-man, said, “I never begin my work in the morning without thinking that perhaps he may interrupt my work and begin His own. I am not looking for death. I am looking for Him.” That is the way a Christian should live his life – in the constant anticipation of the return of Jesus Christ! If we could live every day as though it may the very last one before the final judgment, what a difference it would make here on earth! But we don’t like to think that way. We don’t like to think that our carefully made plans, our long range schemes may be interrupted by the trumpet of God. Too many people would rather say, “Oh, well, the end of the world hasn’t come yet, so why think about it – it’s probably a thousand years away.”

Prayer for the day

Today might be the last day when Jesus returns. Cleanse me, Father.

I know that Jesus can come any day. I am prepared, while other people are more flippant and think Jesus will come at a much later date, even thinking after they are dead and buried. By then, for those that think He will come later, it is too late.

Many unbelievers scoff when the subject of the Lords return is mentioned. However they will be hard pressed to explain what occurred when some of their friends and family have suddenly vanished .............and they remain.

Everyone will be caught by surprise when the Lord decides to return simply because no one knows the exact time.

I thank God above for sending his only son, Jesus, to take away our sins! I am a sinner and know in my heart that I am forgiven! He keeps his promises!

Thank you God for taking our place on the cross. We know none of us are worthy but we thank you for making it possible to receive your forgiveness and secure a place in your kingdom. Thank you for the many blessings you bestow upon us.

May every moment we spend be it for the glory of God!

Gerry says 1.6.2011, 06:49 a.m.

Historically, many false teachers have wrongly predicted the time of Christ return. However scripture is clear on this point (Matthew 24-36) not even Christ himself knows the hour...only our Heavenly Father. So do your very best to be ready, always.

Tina says 1.6.2011, 05:03 a.m.

Today could be the last day of your journey here, so please think about and act on it.
