His Coming

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

“So that He may strengthen and confirm and establish your hearts faultlessly pure and unblamable in holiness in the sight of our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) with all His saints (the holy and glorified people of God)! Amen, (so be it)!” 1 Thessalonians 3v13 (AMP)

What a wonderful wonderful day it would be when the trumpet would sound and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ would appear to take His saints with Him. We thank God for that hope that we have. 1 Peter 1v3-9 (NIV) tells us of the inheritance that God has for us which eventually we would get: “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith – of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire – may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” Hallelujah. Beloved, the Christian walk is indeed a journey, but one in which we know where it would end. It is filled with tests, trials, and temptations but also cushioned with the great power of a God who loves us tremendously, His precious Holy Spirit and a Saviour who has laid down His life for us. To His coming we look up to.

“And now, little children, abide (live, remain permanently) in Him, so that when He is made visible, we may have and enjoy perfect confidence (boldness, assurance) and not be ashamed and shrink from Him at His coming.” 1 John 2v28 (AMP)

Father we honour You. Jesus we thank You. We thank You for we know where You are and how to get there. Indeed You are the Way, the Truth and the Life, and You are even now preparing a place for us that where You are we may be also. Blessed be Your holy name o Lord. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
