The problem for much of humanity is “yes I am coming soon.” That is Jesus speaking at the very end of the Bible. Yes, he is coming soon. He has told me that many times since he told me to “tell them who I am and that I am coming soon.”
When he first comes he collects his true believers and takes them with him. That is known as the rapture. And a terrible time known as the Tribulation ensues. The great problem for all those who do not know him and do not have him as their Lord is that they will not be going with him and will have to endure that Tribulation…and eventually eternity in the Lake of Fire. That is a really great problem right now – for them! Unless they soon realize who Jesus is and become true believers, their future is dark.
For believers, our great joy is Jesus and that we will be going with him. And right now we are at the most joyous time of the year, Christmas! We are looking for joy and peace and happiness more perhaps than ever this year. We need the peace of Jesus, the peace that passes all understanding. And the joy that comes with knowing him.
Most of you may remember my writing some years ago about the time when Cathy and I were sitting in a church service on Christmas Eve. It was really a warm, precious service, one we attended as often as possible when we were in the area of this church. As the program went forward, at one point very clearly I heard the Lord speak to me. He said, “These people are singing about my birth, and here I am coming soon.”
We still are singing about his birth, and we should forever. But indeed he is coming soon. He is not a baby in the stable. He is also no longer walking the earth as the most astounding teacher and preacher and healer and prophet the world has ever seen. And he is not on the cross taking upon himself everything that separated people from God, all our sins, sicknesses, diseases, and pains and more. No, all that was done almost two thousand years ago.
Where is Jesus now? At the right hand of his father. He is the King of the Kingdom of God. And time is up for this human age. He is preparing to return very soon, and he is returning as the King and the head of government. Remember these wonderful words from Isaiah 9:6-7:
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace
Of the greatness of his government and peace
there will be no end.
there will be no end.
The joy of his birth is ours! And the joy of his coming soon is ours too! A king is coming. The King of all kings. Jesus Christ.
Have a wonderful Christmas!
