It Seems Too Good to Be True

I was visiting a Christian man who had recently had a stroke of paralysis. I said to him,
“What a wonderful thing it seems that you have finished your earthly work, and now have just to sit still and wait for the Lord who may be coming very soon to take us to Himself.”
“It seems too good to be true, it seems too good to be true, it gives me such a feeling of joy.”
After more conversation on the same blessed subject I left him; but his words remained with me.
We talk glibly enough about the Lord’s return, but do we realize what it means? At any moment we may be in His presence, never more to go out. Truly, it seems almost too good to be true.
“Yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry.” (Heb. 10:3737For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. (Hebrews 10:37)).
