Jesus is Coming!

March 4, 2013

But don’t forget this, dear friends. . . . He isn’t really being slow about his promised return, even though it sometimes seems that way. But he is waiting, for the good reason that he is not willing that any should perish, and he is giving more time for sinners to repent.
–2 Peter 3:8,9 (TLB)

Many people are asking, “Where is history heading?” A careful student of the Bible will be led to see that God controls the clock of destiny. Amid the world’s confusion, God’s omnipotent hand moves, working out His unchanging plan and purpose. Jesus Christ is coming to earth again. It is Christ who is in control, and He will determine the outcome. George Whitefield, the great English evangelist, said, “I am daily waiting for the coming of the Son of God.” But he did not sit down and do nothing. He burned out his life in proclaiming the Gospel of Christ.

Prayer for the day

Father, deliver me from slothfulness, keep me quickened to deliver Your message of salvation to everyone who will listen, until that day I die or You return again.

The actual time of Jesus return is unknown to all. However it really shouldn't matter. Do your best to live your life as close to how he lived his and know for certain, you are eternally secure.

And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations: and then shall the end come (Matthew 24:14). Until the day when You call me home or You return again, I want to obey Your commandments......, Amen.....!

This elderly woman once told me "Pat, look toward the eastern sky" I call her my "Angel Unaware" She helped me more that day, and whenever I have doubts and fears I always remember what she said..Peace overwhelms me..

Please Lord look upon me favorably today and Monday. It is all in your control Amen

sam says 3.4.2011, 07:26 a.m.

Patience is a heavenly virtue. Anyone with that virtue will wait for the Lord's coming every moment. That is the essence of Psalm 130:6

Gerry says 3.4.2011, 06:28 a.m.

Scripture says that God did not even tell His Son the hour He would return. So it is certain that no human on the planet knows, although many have falsely predicted a specific date. I believe God wants us to keep faithfully doiing his business until the trumpet sounds. Then and only then will we be sure of the hour. Like any loving Father, He wants His children to do our very best each day He blesses us with.

vonnie says 3.4.2011, 00:01 a.m.

Its the knowledge that God is in control that gives me the strength to keep on going in this ever changing (and not always for the best) world!
