Jesus is coming friends, he is coming! And there is urgency to bring the Kingdom HERE. Whether it is in my lifetime or not, He has promised to come back and save His people. He has spoken urgency over my heart for the past few weeks now. We aren’t guaranteed tomorrow, or even today, but he has given us right now. I feel like we waste time putting things off in our life because we think we will ‘get around to it.’ What if Jesus came tomorrow? Would we be satisfied with how we have lived our lives? Seeking his kingdom and his people? Loving everyone around us? Proclaiming his name and glory in everything we do and say?
I don’t know about you, but those questions are absolutely convicting to me. If Jesus came today, would I be ready? The answer is clearly YES in the sense that praise Jesus, take me home! And the other side of that would be regret and sadness for what I have lacked in my faith and actions. I haven’t fully become the person He has created me to be, and that makes me sad that I haven’t walked further into what he has for me. That itself needs to change, because what am I even waiting for?
There needs to be urgency. Urgency to bring the Kingdom. To heal the sick. To raise the dead. To save lives. You guys, the time is NOW!! Jesus is going to come at some point, and will we be ready!? When are we going to pick up our cross and follow the creator of this wonderful and beautiful world? When are we going to love people without return, or die to our fleshly desires daily?
When are we going to stop caring what people think about us, and share the truth with everyone we know?!
I say now. I say today.
After reading everything about what is happening in the world right now, my heart is absolutely shattered and broken. Broken for those people who are losing their lives, their families and friends. Deeply saddened for the people who did it, for their lost soles in need of our Heavenly Father. And hurt for those who watch these horrible things happen to innocent humans. I am so sad for the brokenness of this world. People are deeply lost and in need of Jesus Christ. I can’t imagine how God feels about what is happening right now. He must be devastated and in awe of the insanity of everything.
But I have hope. I have hope because I have Christ and I believe his promises and his goodness. I believe he has great things in store for us, if we choose to follow him. I believe he loves each and every person ever born and his heart breaks for his lost children. I believe he wants us to live with urgency to bring his Kingdom to earth.
So Jesus, we need more of you.
Come Jesus, please come.
