Jesus Promised to Return

PRAY OVER THIS

“Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.” Revelation 21:1

 

PONDER THIS

Take your Bible and read the first two chapters. You won’t find any devil there. Read the last two chapters of the Bible and you won’t find any devil there. Habakkuk 2:14 gives this promise, “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” The reason that everything’s such a mess today is things are out of place. Think about it. The Church is the bride, but the bride belongs with the groom. We’re not yet with Him. Jesus is the King, and the King belongs on the throne. He’s not yet ruling. The devil is a criminal; he belongs in prison. He’s not yet there. But one day soon, the bride’s going to be with the Groom. One of these days the King’s going to be on the throne, and one of these days the devil’s going to be in prison. What a day that will be. That is the day we are to watch and hope for.

How does it shape your daily perspective to remember that Jesus has promised to return and rule forever?

What would you do differently today if you truly believed that?

PRACTICE THIS

Make a list of ways you might live differently if you truly believed Jesus could return soon. Take action to make changes to align with this list
