Expectation

Colossians 3:4

“When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.”

As followers of Jesus, our future is intertwined with His glorious return. That means because we are children of the most high God, we are destined to be transformed into the likeness of Christ Himself. Isn’t that amazing? One day we will be rid of these human, frail, and wicked bodies. And we will receive our new, perfect, glorified ones. Bodies that allow us to stand at the side of Jesus when He returns in all His glory. How can our hearts not be filled with hope and expectation with a promise like that! To appear with Jesus in His glory means that we will stand in the radiant light of His holiness. It’s a declaration of our ultimate victory over sin and death, and a testament to the redemptive power of Christ’s sacrifice. This truth inspires us to live with hope and purpose, keeping our eyes on the prize. A prize that should shape every aspect of our lives, and guide us toward the fulfillment of God’s divine plan. And one that keeps us crying out. “Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus!”
