In today’s society, the news is filled with headlines of terror and ruin. We’re caught in a tailspin of wondering what’s next, what lives will be lost, what disaster will happen, and what tragic report we will be told. As followers of Christ, we’re left trying to catch our breath before the next tragedy — exhausted, drained, and crying out for Jesus’ return.
In this world of darkness, toil, and death, our grief and difficulty won’t end until our Savior comes. Sometimes, it may seem as if God doesn’t see or care about the evil occurring, but we have a heavenly Father who sees all. He sees the evil; He sees the calamity taking place; He sees the corruption; He knows of the wars and the unrest — and He despises it more than we do (Proverbs 6:16–19).
Even though we still live in this world, we can find hope in our Savior, who has not forgotten about us. He will return, and as the days get darker, we can cling to His light and fatherly love. So, what does His return truly impact and signify?
As we celebrate Jesus’ glorious resurrection, where He defeated the grave, we know that He is now seated at the right hand of the Father (Matthew 22:44). We await His return when He ultimately defeats death and all its evils, destroying them for good. And in that truth, one day, all things will be reconciled to God forever, and every enemy will be placed under the feet of our Lord.
As we await His return, how will you prepare yourself and use your time to glorify Him?Related Posts
