OUR HOPE
“Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love,
and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our
Father;”
1
Thessalonians 1:3 KJV
Evangelist
Daniel Webster Whittle wrote “The Hope of The Coming of The Lord”. I love these words in this hymn. “Blessèd hope, blessèd hope, Blessèd hope of
the coming of the Lord; How the aching heart it cheers, How it glistens through
our tears, Blessèd hope of the coming of the Lord.”
One
happy joyous day Jesus is coming back for us and there will be no more sorrow,
crying or pain. We read in the
Bible. “For the Lord himself shall
descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the
trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:” (1 Thessalonians 4:16).
We
shout for our favorite sports team but no shout will ever equal the shout that
Jesus will give when He comes back for us.
As much as we long to see Jesus, He longs to see us more. What a Saviour! What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth
If
you are discouraged and feel like giving up, stay on the battlefield for
Jesus. He stayed on the battlefield for
us and He also allowed them to crucify Him on a cross of horror and suffered
anguish and pain that you and I will never know. O how Jesus loves you and me.
Are
you ready to meet Jesus? You may be
saved but is your heart right with God?
We don’t know when Jesus is coming back for us and we need to be ready. On August 14, 1980, I invited Jesus into my
heart and I’m ready to meet Him.
