No matter what you are facing today, one thing is for sure…Jesus is coming again. He’s not coming like He did before as a baby, but as King. Jesus will wipe away every tear, there will be no mourning, no crying, no pain, all former things will pass away and death will be no more.
Can you imagine this? Do you believe this to be true? Jesus is returning.
In that split second, everyone will know the truth. When Jesus comes back, decision making is over.
Everyone, all around the world, believer and non believer will bow down and recognize Jesus as King. The believer will be saved into heaven for all eternity and the non believer will go to hell for all eternity. I don’t write that lightly and don’t mean for it to come across as being “mean,” but the Bible says that is truth and the only way to salvation is through Jesus Christ.
Are you struggling today? Be encouraged that when Jesus returns, it will all be over.
- No more pain
- No more sickness
- No more poverty
- No more starvation
- No more persecution
- No more sin
In the meantime, follow Jesus, rely on the Holy Spirit to lead you, make disciples who make disciples, teach them to observe all that He has commanded us, baptize them, love and serve others, continue to share the Gospel, and look forward as the day is drawing near that our Savior will return.
