Hurray! Jesus Is Coming Back

This is a reminder that Jesus is truly coming again for all who believe in Him. It may seem long, but His promise remains sure: “I will come again and receive you unto myself” (John 14:3). His return is certain, and our hope in Him is secure.

Jesus told us that He has gone to prepare a place for us (John 14:2–3). This assurance strengthens our faith and reminds us that earth is not our final home. There is a glorious place waiting for those who remain in Him.

As believers, we must stay watchful and not get carried away with the distractions of this world. Scripture encourages us to “set our minds on things above, not on earthly things” (Colossians 3:2). The things happening around us should not shift our gaze from Christ.

The story of the ten virgins in Matthew 25:1–13 teaches the importance of preparation. Five were wise and ready, while the other five were not. Let us not be unprepared or spiritually asleep, but alert, expectant, and aligned with God’s will.

In our homes, workplaces, and social spaces, we are called to be the salt and light that reflect Jesus Christ (Matthew 5:13–14). Instead of contributing to problems, let our actions, words, and attitude reveal Christ everywhere we go.

Jesus also commanded us to “go into all the world and preach the gospel” (Mark 16:15). With the technology and platforms available today, we have many opportunities to share the message of salvation and point souls to Christ.

In all things, may we remember to keep Jesus at the center of our daily living. When He is our focus (Hebrews 12:2), our steps stay aligned with His will, and we remain ready for His return.

Prayer
Thank You, Lord, for counting me worthy to be saved. Give me the grace to remain in You until Jesus returns. For all who have not yet accepted Christ, may the Holy Spirit speak to their hearts and convict them unto salvation. Amen.

What type of Christian are you?

Sister Rose was stopped at the gate of heaven, and confusion filled her face. “What is going on here?” she asked. “My name is Sister Rose Agatha, the General Choir Director of the Association of Christian Choristers in my country. What do you mean I’m not qualified to enter?” The angel looked at her calmly. “I’m sorry, ma, but the gate has been shut against you. Many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14). She felt offended. “Sir, with all due respect, you must be mistaking me for someone else. I served God all the years of my life on earth. Do you know how many choir groups I headed? How many crusades I was invited to? I was very popular.” “The Kingdom of God is not about popularity,” the angel replied. “What quality of service did you render to God? Was it for His glory or to please men? Remember, ‘For we must all stand before Christ to be judged… each of us will receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body’” (2 Corinthians 5:10). ...

Giving Thanks in Everything

Sometimes life feels like it’s falling apart — plans fail, losses come unexpectedly, and hope seems distant. Think of a time when things weren’t going the way you wanted; with all the emotions rushing through your mind, gratitude was probably the last thing you wanted to express. Yet, this is exactly where true thanksgiving begins — not when life is perfect, but when we trust that God is still good, even when things don’t seem that way. God’s Word encourages us to give thanks in all circumstances because He cares deeply for us, and His thoughts toward us are always good (Jeremiah 29:11). Even when things seem unclear, His plans are still for our peace and not for our destruction. Sometimes, we need to pause and look back at our lives to see the countless blessings we’ve overlooked. The psalmist reminds us to remember the deeds of the Lord and meditate on His works (Psalm 77:11–12). As we walk through tough seasons, it’s important to shift our focus away from negativity and toward the...

When obedience seems hard

Have you ever thought about what you would do if you were in Abraham’s position? God asked him to sacrifice his only son, Isaac — the son he had waited for all his life. Imagine the thoughts that must have run through his mind as he walked toward that mountain, carrying wood and fire but no explanation. Yet, Abraham obeyed. He trusted that even in this impossible command, God had a purpose. His faith reminds us that true obedience sometimes means surrendering what we value most. Sometimes, God asks us to let go of something dear — a dream, a relationship, or even a habit — and our first instinct is to resist. We grumble, argue, or try to reason it out because obedience can feel costly. But obedience, even when hard, is proof of our trust in God. Jesus Himself obeyed the Father even unto death (Philippians 2:8), and that obedience brought salvation to the whole world. The Bible makes it clear that disobedience leads to pain and loss. Saul lost his throne because he disobeyed God’s instr...
