The Word of God assures us that the Lord will suddenly come and take the world with as great a surprise as the flood did in the days of Noah, or the destroying fire of God that fell on Sodom. Haven’t we seen recent examples in our own time? The Tsunami? The Pakistan earthquake? And those—terrible though they were—were still limited in their extent. The coming day of judgment will be global.
People may laugh now, as they often have before, and say scornfully, “Where is the promise of His coming?” But God is faithful, and His Word is true. The Lord Jesus speaks from heaven: “Behold, I come quickly” (Rev. 22:77Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. (Revelation 22:7)). Again in verse 12: “Behold, I come quickly.” And the third time in verse 20: “SURELY I come quickly.”
Take God at His word. Christ is coming! How soon no one knows-but, PERHAPS TODAY! Can you say, “Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly”?
What about your sins? You dare not meet the Lord with them unpardoned. Oh, bring them at once to the cross! Jesus said, “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out” (John 6:3737All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (John 6:37)). No one ever sought forgiveness and was denied.
