It’s a Short Thing

“The Lord is coming back some day – It's a Sure Thing!” These words are part of a song I wrote that our family put on our latest project, “What Are You Waiting For!” Our oldest daughter Rachel (who will be 19 years old in July) has a four-year-old sweetheart named Cason who mistakenly sings “It's a Short Thing.” At least I thought it was a mistake…

In II Timothy Chapter 4, Paul is giving a charge to Timothy. Verse 8 contains these words that seemed to jump out at me one day, “Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing.” (Emphasis mine.) I began to search my heart to see if I was longing for the return of my Saviour.

Last night, Rachel and Rebecca were at the church with their youth group. They were having a reenactment of the Last Supper, which must have been a very moving service from the emotion in Rachel's voice when she called at the conclusion. I was not aware of the activities that were taking place while I was waiting for them to “appear” in the driveway safe and sound, I only know the longing in my heart for them to get home. Watching out the window, turning on the flood lights, leaving them a message on their cell phone, looking at the clock – my actions showed that their return was very important to me… and that I was expecting it to be soon! As Christians, do we exist from day to day, preoccupied with our own “stuff,” or are we longing for His appearing? We can clearly see that the Lord's return is fast approaching – the time is short. “He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” Revelation 22:20

The Lord is coming back some day - It is not only a Sure Thing, I believe it is also a “Short Thing!”

till next time…
