Urgency

The discussion of the last days has been and will continue to be a topic of much debate inside and outside the church. Inside the church, discussions will center on the timing of Christ’s return and whether Christians will be delivered (raptured) from the tribulation. Outside the church, “scoffers” will use the end times as fodder for jokes and mockingly ask, in essence, “If Jesus is really going to return, what’s taking so long?” This question, “What’s taking so long?” has no doubt occupied the minds of quite a few Christians. But our job is not to know the time. Our job is to live expectantly.

Wherever we go, we are never alone. Jesus is always with us . . . even to the end. That great promise is the exclamation to the Great Commission.
