227. He's Coming Soon



What if Jesus came back today? What if this were your very last day on earth? Wow. Just take a second and let that sink in... What if this was the very last day you had to put up with the misbehavior of people in your life who treat you terribly? What if this were the very last day you cried a tear over a broken heart? What if today was the last time you had to take medicine for that same old hurt? What if, in the blink of an eye, the sky split open, the clouds rolled back and the Author and Perfector of your faith stepped onto the stage and ended history with a blast from the last trumpet? What if today was your last chance to make a stand for Christ? What if today was your last opportunity to show the love of Jesus to someone lost, hurting, down and out? What if today was your last chance to forgive that one person and heal that broken relationship? What if these hours of daylight were the last hours that you ever had to fight temptation? After our Lord comes back to get us, there will be no more tears, no more problems, no more pain or wrong or drama. If this were our last day, this would be our last chance to fight the good fight! If you knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that this day would be your last day, wouldn’t you give it all you had? Wouldn’t you absolutely go for broke? Wouldn’t you pour out love and praise and service? Jesus said, “Behold, I am coming soon!” See, we don’t know if this will be the last day, but it could be.
