The Second Coming of our Lord and Saviour – Jesus Christ is one of the central doctrines of the Christian faith, a promise that is both a source of hope and a call to readiness. Jesus Himself declared, “Behold, I am coming soon!” – Revelation 22:12. But as we contemplate this profound event, the ultimate question remains: how prepared are we for His second coming?.
The Bible is too certain about Christ’s return. Jesus prophesied it in Matthew 24:30-31, the angels affirmed it at His ascension in Acts 1:10-11, and the apostles reinforced it in their writings according to 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. His return will be sudden, visible and glorious – a day that the redeemed in Christ are waiting for.
Although, the time is still unknown to men. Jesus warned, “But about that day or hour no one knows” – Matthew 24:36.
A lesson from the parable of the ten virgins in Matt. 25:1-13 is a sobering reminder of the consequences of spiritual neglect or laziness. Five were wise and kept their lamps filled with oil, symbolizing a life of vigilance and intimacy with God. The other five were foolish, unprepared when the bridegroom arrived. The consequences we also know. What is your state of preparedness.
Preparation for Christ’s second coming is about our daily walk with God, obedience to His Word and service to His kingdom.
If He returned now, what would He find in you? Would He see a faithful servant eagerly awaiting His arrival, or a distracted soul in a State indecision or uncertainty?. Let the words of Apostle John in Rev. 22:20 be your watch words each day, hour, minute and seconds: “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus”.
Permit me to ask you –
How prepared are you for His second coming?.
Time is fast running out.
