John 14:1–3
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in GOD; believe also in me. In my FATHER’s house are many rooms.
If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.”
The Second Coming of JESUS is the glorious, final event when He will return to earth to establish His eternal kingdom. His first coming was marked by humility, a suffering servant who was the Lamb of GOD. His second coming will be a display of power and majesty, as the Lion of Judah. While we cannot know the day or the hour, the Bible tells us to live in joyful and faithful anticipation, knowing that the one who purchased us with His own blood will return to consummate His kingdom. The signs of the times are often described as the "birth pangs" before His return, calling us to be watchful and prepared by living a life of love, justice, and peace., a life that honors and brings praise and glory to GOD and the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Prayer
Lord JESUS , we long for the day of Your return. Help us to live in joyful anticipation, not in fear, but with a steadfast hope in Your promises. Thank You for Your first coming, for Your sacrifice that redeemed us, and for Your promise to return and bring us to our eternal home. Help us to be faithful citizens and servants of Your Kingdom, living each day as if it were the day you will come back. Fill us with Your love for our neighbors and those around us, and give us the strength and courage to share Your light with a world that is in darkness. In Your most holy Name, we pray. Amen.
