A HAPPY VICTORIOUS DAY

"But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming."

1 Corinthians 15:20-23
King James Version

Ada J. Blenkhorn wrote a beautiful hymn about Jesus coming again "WHEN HE COMETH". I love the words in this hymn.

"Happy songs thro’ all the earth shall ring When He cometh, when He cometh; We shall all with joy behold our king When our blessèd Lord shall come again.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Sing aloud the joyful strain; Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Lo! He comes a king to reign.

Pain and sorrow then shall pass away When He cometh, when He cometh; On the world shall dawn a glorious day When our blessèd Lord shall come again."

John W. Peterson wrote what I think is one of the greatest hymns ever written "Jesus is coming again".

"Marvelous message we bring, Glorious carol we sing, Wonderful word of the King, Jesus is coming again!

Coming again, Coming again, May be morning, may be noon, May be evening and may be soon! Coming again, Coming again; O what a wonderful day it will be - Jesus is coming again!"

If there is ever a reason to shout with happiness it is knowing that Jesus is coming again for us. Are you ready to meet Him? If there has never been a time in your life when you invited Jesus into your heart to be your Saviour, do it even as you read this devotion. Don't keep breaking His heart.
