Christ Promises His Return
Herod’s magnificent temple
captured the attention of all who
passed by. Commenting on its
beauty & splendour, the disciples
set the stage for Jesus’ Olivet
Discourse, a prophetic look at
future events. His followers are
urged to watchful expectation
coupled with faithful service
because, despite the signs of
His coming, the return of Christ
will be unannounced. His coming
will bring vengeance on His
enemies, judgment on the nations
and rewards for His followers.
Lord, we’ll Prepare for Your Return:
Immediately after the tribulation…
the sun will be darkened… Then…
they will see Son of Man Coming
on the clouds with power & great
glory. He will send forth his angels
with the sound of a mighty trumpet
& they will gather his chosen ones
from the farthest ends of the earth.
When you see the events I have
described beginning to happen,
u can know His Return is very near
right at the door (Matt 24:31-33).
Heaven and earth will pass away,
but My Words will by No Means
Pass Away (Matthew 24:35).
Watch therefore for you do not know
what hour your Lord is coming…
Therefore you also Be Ready
for the Son of Man is coming at
an hour you do not expect (v42-44).
Lord Jesus, let us be settled in
our hearts that You are Returning.
Help me to be sensitive to the
changing season in my life and
in the lives of those around me.
Help me Lord to share U with those
who yearn to know more about You.
Open my eyes to the signs all
around so that I may prepare for
and anticipate Your Return. Amen
Lord, Your Words will Never Pass
Away for they speak in present
ways into the nows of our lives.
In fact the scriptures contain
Your truth and sacred promises
which I can base my life on.
Lord, let Your Word teach me,
shape me and saturate me;
and then speak Your Word
through me to others. Amen.
Lord, help us Keep Watch and
Be Ready for Your sure return
so that we may be able to give an
account of ourselves at any time.
Help us declare the word of the Lord
for righteousness being restored.
These are the days of the harvest;
the fields are as white in Your world.
We’re the labourers in Your vineyard
declaring the word of the Lord!Amen
