And Jesus said, . . . and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

Mark 14:62

The world in which we live is full of pessimism. No Christian has the scriptural right to go around wringing his hands wondering what we are to do in the face of the present world situation. The Scripture says that in the midst of persecution, confusion, wars, and rumors of wars, we are to comfort one another with the knowledge that our Lord Jesus Christ is coming back in triumph, glory, and majesty. At times I’ve gone to bed at night and thought to myself that before I awaken Christ may come.  He has told us Christians to be watching constantly and to be ready, “for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh” (Matthew 24:44). What a glorious time of reunion it’s going to be, when we will be caught up with Him!

Thank You, Jesus, for the hope that even today I may have the joy of seeing You face to face! May the purpose of my words and actions be of one purpose, building your kingdom. All praise and glory to you, oh Lord. Amen.
