None of us knows the day when our Lord will return. But He will. In power, for judgment this time.
He said there will be much unrest and deception in the last days. We don't know where we are in that realm, but Paul thought there was some inkling of possibility the time may come while he was walking the earth (like as indicated in 1 Thes. 4:15-17 and other passages in his epistles), stoking believers to be ready that any moment the Lord may return...ought we not be all the more vigilant?
How soon, we don't know. But we do know, from what Peter said, that the judgment of God is revealed first in the church. And even as we bear in ourselves the death of Christ, on and again, then so it is that His resurrection are also continually revealed through us as a walking testament of the truth of the Gospel in Christ.
So, yeah. Continue on. As the just live by faith, then let us know Christ. He has died for us, shall we not live for Him?
Draw us nearer Lord, ever nearer. May we seek Your face. Your face, that is what I will seek.
...
If He allots, I will write here again soon. So many things have shifted. For us all, no? And yet our God is ever faithful, steadfast, immutable. Our hope is secure.
