Keep on

I’m a selfish believer! I shouldn’t be I guess but the older I get and the more I see the world falling deeper and deeper into sinfulness, the more I wish for Christ’s return. To me, the rapture couldn’t come quick enough. But is that good thinking? Why would I want him to come now? There are loved ones in my life that have not come to trust in Christ as their savior yet! It seems like Christ is slow in his return. I’m sure many might be tempted to think he won’t come at all. The thing is, we need to think like he thinks! 2 Peter 3:8&9 says: but do not forget this one thing my dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to parish, but everyone to come to repentance.
We know that not everyone will come to repentance sadly but we don’t know how many will. Many lost people are out there that may come to repentance and so as we bide our time until the Lord returns, and he knows best when that time should be, we must continue to spread the good news of Jesus’ salvation and forgiveness! Don’t get me wrong, we should still eagerly anticipate his coming but we shouldn’t just stand there watching the sky when there’s so much work to be done!! He will come! How do I know? Because he said so! In the mean time let’s roll up our sleeves and do the work he has called us to do! Time goes faster when we are busy!! Thank you Jesus for your promised return. We look forward to your coming but keep our hands and feet busy with the work of spreading your great news of forgiveness!!
Keep up the good work!!
