UNTIL JESUS RETURNS

Jesus is coming back! And there is something very healthy about longing to see our Saviour.

Everyone who belongs to him (those already in heaven from every generation and those throughout the whole earth) will be gathered to meet him.

This will be a powerful event. The resurrection and transformation that will be completed in that day will surpass all our expectations. Thankfully, the Bible gives us sufficient information to help us grasp by faith the certainty of the future that the Father has secured for all who have been redeemed through the blood of his Son.

Except for God, no one knows when this will take place. It is certainly closer now than when Jesus' first followers were told: "This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will come back in the same way you saw him go into heaven (Acts 1:11 NET).”

Until then the primary and all embracing task he has given us is to keep on speaking for him, enabled by the Holy Spirit. Acts 1:8.

In fact, he said that before this present age (as we currently know it) comes to an end this gospel will be made known among all people groups. Matthew 24:14 & Mark 13:10.

In the light of Jesus' ever nearing return (whenever that may be) this surely needs to be the mission of prime importance for every generation of believers.
