The Imminent Return Our Lord

Have you thought about the return of our Lord and Savior today?

I was in class and I was convicted in the opening prayer. We hadn't even gotten in to the lecture material yet for the course, and I was already convicted. In his prayer, Dr. Mayhue prayed at least twice about the quick and imminent coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Are you living NOW in light of eternity?

I am reminded of Jonathan Edwards's 19th Resolution:

Resolved, never to do anything, which I should be afraid to do, if I expected it would not be above an hour, before I should hear the last trump.

So I ask you again as I have asked myself throughout this day: Are YOU ready for the imminent return of the Lord Jesus?
Maranatha (1 Cor 16:22)
