One of the greatest promises in the Bible is the promise of Christ’s return. Someday, Jesus will come back and gather his followers to spend eternity with him in Heaven. He will also, we are told, come to judge the world. The natural question is, “What is he waiting for?”
The Bible gives us the answer: The Lord isn't slow to do what he promised, as some people think. Rather, he is patient for your sake. He doesn't want to destroy anyone but wants all people to have an opportunity to turn to him and change the way they think and act. 2 Peter 3:9
In other words, there’s still room in Heaven. God wants every seat filled. God wants your neighbor, your coworker, your family member to experience the love of Jesus, accept his forgiveness, find new life in Christ, and live forever with him in Heaven. Yes – even that neighbor!And, God has a plan for getting them there… YOU! Why hasn’t Jesus returned yet? He’s waiting for you! What can we do to hasten his return? Share our faith in Jesus Christ with our lost and hurting world. And the world we’re talking about starts right at our doorstep.
Isn’t it amazing that God has entrusted us with such an important task? So, let’s get to it!
