What is Your Hope?
Have you ever been so excited about an upcoming visit from a friend or relative?
Was your Hope full and your thoughts about how you would have fun together?
One of the greatest joys of ministry is getting to see and share with those who have benefited from your labor.
Paul was expecting Jesus to come back very soon. He wrote to the people at Thessalonica fully expecting to present them to Jesus when He arrived back on earth.
Have we stopped expecting Jesus to return?
I mean it has been over 2000 years since He ascended.
Peter3:8 tells us that one thousand years for us is like one day for God.
So that being said, I feel like even 2 years is somewhat of a long time.
It is easy to lose sight of the promise when we have to wait for it.
Do you have someone who you are looking forward to presenting to Jesus? Someone you have nurtured and helped in their faith?
Get excited about it! Jesus is soon to return!
Focus on the hope of His coming and look around you. Who will you be bragging about and sharing your joy with when Jesus comes back?
Peter 3:8 tells us that one thousand years for us is like one day for God.
