Jesus Christ will come whether you look for Him or not. Nothing is
more certain than Christ’s return. He who came the first time will come
the second time.
The only hope of the believer is set forth in Titus 2:13: “Looking
for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and
our Saviour Jesus Christ.” Our hope is the personal return of Christ
when He shall come back again to receive us unto Himself. Our hope is to
be taken out of this scene of sin, suffering, and sorrow to be where
Christ is. Our hope is to be caught up to meet the Lord in the air and
to be forever with the Lord. Our hope is to be “made like” Him, and this
hope will be realized when “we see Him as He is.”
Are you ready as a professed Christian to be summoned any moment to
the Judgment Seat of Christ? Are you listening for a voice, a shout and a
trumpet? Keep watching the eastern sky, for some golden daybreak Jesus
will come in the clouds of Heaven! Remember, it is written: “Blessed are
those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching:
verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit
down to meat, and will come forth and serve them” (Luke 12:37).
