Christians in our culture seem to forget or neglect the fact that Jesus not only rose from the dead and ascended to heaven but is also coming back. When kept in our hearts and minds, Jesus’ return will transform our daily lives. He will return. When He returns, everyone will give an account for their lives and for their response to the gospel.
There is a day that all the nations and all the angels will sit around His glorious throne, and no one will dispute in that moment that He’s King.
The fact that Christ is coming “from whence to judge the quick and the dead” tells us that we are not going to have our best life now, nor should we look for it. We can live with confidence only because we have assurance that we know the future. The future is Jesus Christ, and we are safe in Him.
