Imminent

“The coming of the Lord draweth nigh” (James 5:8).

Someone was telling me lately that they drove past a home where there was a notice in the window that read, “Perhaps Today”. They weren’t sure what that message actually meant but I like to think that it was a reference to the soon return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Bible teachers call this the doctrine of the “imminent return of Christ.” Imminent means that it can happen at any moment.

The implication is that we should live in constant expectation of Christ’s return as it could be at any second. Thus, we should aim to please Him at all times by practical holy living, brotherly love, and fulfilling the tasks He has called and gifted us to do. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we were engaged in the service of Christ and living to please Him when He comes? The Apostle John gives us very timely advice in this regard. “And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming” (1 John 2:28). We won’t be ashamed at His coming if we are looking for, and living in view of that moment.
