Across the ages, the Church has looked with joyous anticipation to the promised return of Christ Jesus. Just as His first coming secured our redemption, His second return is our blessed hope for the full consummation of His Kingdom here on earth. But we are not to just sit back on our hands as we wait…we are to be doing Kingdom work, spreading the Gospel Message, and serving the needs of others. But we are to also be vigilant in our watch for Jesus’ return…alert & discerning that we may not be deceived. (Luke 21:34-36) And as we labor, we can look forward with encouragement, joy, and hope for this marvelous future manifestation, or as Jesus told His disciples in Luke 21:28, “When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads because your redemption is drawing near.”
