What comes to mind when I think of the “second coming of Christ” .
I must say that during the course of study of this course , It became an eye opener to me , I remain expectant, excited and in awe of meeting my Lord and king.
Here are the few things that comes to mind in the presence of this thought
1. The honor of been recieved by Christ. John 14:3
It is a day I await in joy that my Lord will receive me to himself. The thought of this alone, leaves butterfly in my belly , more like a bride that awaits her groom in excitement. What a great privilege it is going to be.
2. It creates a sense of reflection and self examination. The coming of Christ also involves rewarding His faithful servants, I begin to ponder if indeed I have been a faithful and fruitful servant. I reflect on how involved I have been in body of Christ. This thought helps me to be more watchful and involved in the things of God. What a great honor it will be to be rewarded by my master.
3. I think of the end of evil, suffering and wickedness in the world. As the coming of Christ marks the end of evil in the world . The coming of Christ will bring various physical changes to the earth . Isaiah 11:1-9, the scripture shows that the earth will yield her increase as the redemption of the earth from the curse in Eden. The earth will be restored to its perfection and glory. Oh what an honor it will be to be able to witness this. like Pastor Sola would say, the sizes of oranges for example , will be massive and not like anything ever seen .
