Prayer: Lord, keep us always expectant as we anticipate your return. Amen
Just a Thought – I wonder what it will be like when we meet the Lord Jesus Christ upon His return. His return will be the last day on this earth that we mentioned last week. From what I hear and read it will be a joyous time of celebration. As the apostle John witnessed in Revelation 7:9-10 “After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” I hope and pray that you and I will be ready when that last day comes, whenever that might be.
