Return of Christ

October 17th – Ephesians 6:11

Ephesians 6:11

With the time growing close to our Lord’s return, life can feel like a battlefield. The Enemy slings his arrows ferociously. He attacks through struggles, doubts, and spiritual assaults that seem to come out of nowhere. But God never asks us to face a single day unprotected. He equips us with His mighty armor. The armor of truth to guard our minds, righteousness to cover our hearts, faith to shield us from fiery darts, and His Word as the sword that cuts through every lie. We weren’t meant to fight in our own strength, but to stand firm in His. Every piece of armor reminds us that victory isn’t found in striving, but in surrendering to the One who already won. When we suit up in God’s strength, we don’t just survive the battles, we grow through them. We become more like Christ, standing firm, joyfully working for the Lord, and shining His light in a dark world. The day is coming when the battle will end, and Jesus will return in glory. But until then, we stand not in fear, but in faith, fully armed and ready.

October 8th – Matthew 24:44

Matthew 24:44

There’s a quiet urgency in the words of Jesus when He tells us that the Son of Man will return at an hour we do not expect. The Lord  doesn’t tell us this to instill fear in our hearts, but to awaken our hearts. To remind us that every sunrise is one day closer to His glorious return. Living ready isn’t about watching the clock. It’s about watching our hearts. It’s found in choosing faithfulness in the little things, obedience in the unnoticed moments, and love even when it costs us something. And it’s in forgiving quickly, serving humbly, and keeping our lamps burning bright.

Each act of faith, each whispered prayer, and each moment of surrender, becomes part of our preparation. The world may be distracted, chasing what fades. But we live with a different focus, our eyes fixed on eternity. For when Jesus comes may He find us not fearful, but faithful. Not hiding, but shining. Not drifting, but abiding in Him. Ready hearts don’t panic at Christ’s coming, they rejoice. Because they’ve been walking with Him all along.

May 15th – 2 Corinthians 4:18

2 Corinthians 4:18

As Christians, we are called to have eyes that focus on the eternal promises of God. With faith as our lens, seeing the unseen and trusting in His unchanging truth. As we await the return of Jesus, let us fix our eyes on the eternal glory that awaits us. For though the troubles of this world may be many, they are but temporary shadows compared to the radiant light of God’s kingdom. So let us not lose heart in the face of adversity. Instead let us focus on the unseen realities of His eternal realm. Because in that beautiful and glorious kingdom, treasures beyond our comprehension await us. Treasures that far outweigh any present suffering we may endure. In light of that truth, may we press on with faith and perseverance, knowing that our current trials are but a passing moment in the grand scheme of eternity. For the glory that will be revealed in us surpasses all earthly pain and hardship. Therefore, let us eagerly anticipate the day when we will be united with Jesus forever, basking in the fullness of His love and glory for all eternity.
