PONDER THIS

We are on a collision course with destiny, and we cannot afford to be ignorant. The signs of Jesus’ coming are everywhere. I’ve stopped looking for the signs; I’m listening for the shout. I believe Jesus is at the door. One of the most wonderful, blessed, and biblical truths is this: His coming is imminent. That means He may come at any moment. We’re not looking for some event in history; we’re looking for Jesus Christ Himself. Do you know what the last prayer in the Bible is? “Even so, come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:20). And that ought to be our prayer today and every waking day: “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” For that’s exactly what Jesus taught us to pray: “Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10).

• How often do you think about Jesus’ promised return?
• How does remembering Jesus’ return is imminent lead us to live differently?

PRACTICE THIS
