BE THRILLED THAT JESUS CHRIST IS COMING SOON

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Acts 1:10-11

“And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven. This same Jesus will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

Additional Verses

📖 Daniel 12:1-3; Matthew 25:1-46; 2 Peter 3:1-9

After the LORD Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, He appeared to his disciples for forty days before He ascended into Heaven. According to 1 Corinthians 15:3-6, Paul says, “For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. And that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James, then by all apostles.” Acts 1:9-11 reveals how Jesus Christ was taken up to Heaven while blessing the disciples and also how two of His angels assured us of the LORD’s return when they spoke thus, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up to Heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into Heaven will so come again in like manner as you saw Him go to Heaven.” Revelation 1:7 also says, “Behold He is coming with the clouds and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him, Even so, Amen.” The parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew Chapter 25 is a very important lesson to all children of God. No one knows the day or the hour in which the Son of God is coming except God the Father only. The five wise virgins were prepared for the coming of the Bride and the other five foolish virgins were not prepared by not having extra oil for their lamps. Be wise like the five wise virgins today. 2 Peter 3:10 says, “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” There is no better investment in this whole world than investing all that you have in preparation for the coming of the LORD Jesus Christ. Be diligent, that you may be found of Him in peace, without spot and blameless at His second coming. The only way to invest in His coming is to make the Word of God the standard of your life every day. You also prepare for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ by doing good works which will justify your faithfulness before God on that day of the Lord. Alleluia!

Prayer

Thank You LORD Jesus Christ for giving me as much hope as Your second coming gives me the courage to live through these challenging days that I am living now. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray, Amen.
