EVEN SO, COME LORD JESUS
“For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:30 NKJV
Are you ready for a heart check on something God’s holding me responsible for? Do we believe in God’s kindness? Of course! Do we believe in God’s goodness? Of course! Do we believe in God’s grace? Of course! But do we believe that God will absolutely hold us responsible for certain things and say, “I’m not playing with you; you’d better get this right?”
Do we believe that, Church? I believe that as much as I believe in eternity.
I think there are some things you need to be bound and determined to get right. We have to decide we are not going to spend 20 years of our lives spinning our wheels anymore.
We have to be the kind of people who not only believe that Jesus Christ is resurrected from the dead, but we need to be people who absolutely believe that Jesus Christ is coming back again.
There’s a large population within the body of Christ that says it’s not really necessary to believe that Jesus rose from the dead. They say we don’t have to believe that, and we can still be Christians. NO!
We must believe the Gospel as Jesus defined it. He rose from the dead and is coming back again. There is no hope if Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead. Why would you follow Him if He did not resurrect from the dead? Because He’s cool? Well, there are cool people everywhere.
We’re following Him because He is God Almighty in the flesh. He came as a son to put a face on the Father so we know what God looks like. He ascended and said He’s coming back.
He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! – Revelation 22:20 NKJV
It’s important that we are a church that believes Jesus is coming back. There’s a big difference between a Christianity that says it isn’t sure if Jesus is coming back and a Christianity that says, “I know for certain that Jesus is coming back.” We are a prophetic Church that believes in and looks forward to the glorious and imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Declaration: Jesus saved and redeemed me; I know He is my Savior. I am grateful that He went through the painful agony leading to the cross to save my soul. I know His Word is True, and He said He is coming back. My life is lived in a way that will bring glory to Him every day I am on Earth and prepare me and those on this path to be His Spotless Bride.
