GETTING READY FOR HIS COMING

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: GETTING READY FOR HIS COMING

Today let me start with scoffer, on the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Scoffers may say, “It’s been almost 2,000 years since Jesus spoke these words. Every generation since then has thought that it was the final generation before His coming, but they all died without seeing it happen. Face reality: It’s just not going to happen!”

The apostle Peter points out (2 Pet. 3:3-13) that such foolish scoffers fail to note that God spoke the universe into existence by His powerful word and that He has given us an object lesson of the terror and power of His judgment in the flood.

The present heavens and earth are being reserved, not for a judgment of water, but of fire. Also, with the Lord, a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years are as a day.
His view of time and ours are vastly different! The only reason He has delayed judgment is His great patience as He waits for more to come to repentance. Peter then uses Jesus' image of a thief:

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God …"(2 Pet. 3:10-12a).

If you have any regard for Jesus words, you must be concerned with the question, “How can I be ready for His coming?”because that is what you must prepare for now and not doubting if he is coming or not, this is certain, Jesus is coming, and His coming is imminent. You and me must not prepare every second.

LET US PRAY
MAY THE LORD DELIVER YOU AND ME FROM EVERY SPIRITUAL LOOKWARMNESS AND GET US READY FOR HIS COMING IN JESUS NAME
