“Preparation For Christ’s Return”
Monday, March 3, 2025Key Verse
“…and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” Matthew 24:30b
Text — Matthew 24:30-33
Message
Eunice was a few months old when her father travelled abroad. Her mother kept promising her that one day her father would return. Eunice would shrug her shoulders, querying the mother, “Mom, When? You have been saying this since when I was a baby.” Yet, Eunice, filled with joy and excitement, kept expecting. Sometimes, Eunice would be completely taken away by her school homework and the celebrations around her and completely forgot about her father’s home coming.
Many people, including children, do not take the preaching about the second coming of Jesus to this world serious. This is shown by the way they behave. Jesus in our Bible passage says that, He will come back. Unlike His first coming that many were not aware of or concerned about, His second coming will concern everyone living on earth.
Nobody; kings, rich adults or children will be able to ignore Him. The whole world will tremble at His coming. Are you prepared for His return. You must prepare by surrendering your life to Jesus, live a holy life, watch, pray and always expect His coming.
