Dear Young Christian,

Here is an excerpt from an old notebook of mine in regard to the Lord’s coming:

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

The Lord’s coming may not be immediate, but we know that it is imminent. In other words, it is at hand…close by…forthcoming…at any moment…impending…soon…very soon…and perhaps sooner than any of us think!

Every hour, every moment of every day, we need to keep this hope before us. As we plan our life, our year, our weekend, our day, we should, through it all be “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13).

Perusing this old notebook and finding this extract encouraged my own heart and helped me to refocus on this precious hope. I trust it will do the same for you.

Your Christian Friend,

Jim Hyland
