Hebrews 9:28 (NLT) He will come again… to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for Him.

We also celebrate His promise to come again. Just as the enslaved Israelites in Egypt cried for deliverance, just as those under oppressive Roman rule yearned for a savior King, we live amid injustice, inequality, and sin and ask “Where are you God?” Hold on to hope. Jesus promised to return to rule with truth and justice.
Are you ready for Christ’s arrival? What does being ready look like - beautiful decorations or a beautiful heart? What preparations need doing before Jesus comes?
Prepare your heart and life for Christ’s arrival. (tweet this)
