ARE WE PREPARED FOR HIS COMING?
This world is not our home. We get comfortable here... building lives, chasing dreams, holding onto things that were never meant to last. But Scripture reminds us over and over again, Jesus is coming back. Not as a baby in a manger. Not in silence.
But in power. In glory. In a moment that will change everything. “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout… and the dead in Christ will rise first.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16 The rapture isn’t just a theory to debate.. it’s a promise to prepare for. Because one day, in the middle of ordinary life, a conversation, a car ride, a quiet night... everything will shift in an instant. And the question won’t be: Did you go to church sometimes?
Did you call yourself a Christian? The question will be: Did you know Him? Not just know about Him, but truly walk with Him. Trust Him. Follow Him. Surrender to Him. Jesus didn’t warn us about His return to scare us, He told us so we would be ready. “Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” Matthew 24:44 This isn’t the time to play halfway faith. This isn’t the time to keep one foot in the world and one foot with God. This isn't time to have one foot in the grave and one foot out of the grave. You're still in the grave.
And when He comes back… there won’t be time to fix it later. But here’s the hope, the part that should set your heart on fire: For those who belong to Him, His return isn’t something to fear… It’s something to long for. No more pain. No more sin. No more fighting battles you’re tired of losing. Just Jesus. Face to face.
If there’s anything pulling you away from God… Let it go. If there’s distance between you and Him… close it! If you’ve been lukewarm… wake up! Because we are closer than we’ve ever been!! And when that trumpet sounds… you’ll want to know...without a doubt... you’re going with Him.
