I will come again

Friday, April 30, 2010
Weekday

First Reading:
Psalm:
Gospel:
Acts 13:26-33
Psalm 2:6-11
John 14:1-6

John 14:3 And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.


This is one of my favorite Bible verses. This is what it is all about. He will come back for us. The Gospel story is great and it fills our hearts with awe and joy in the power and love of Christ, but at the end of the day, if He doesn't come back for us, if He leaves us to die here, then what is it all for? He must come back, and that is what He is going to do. We know this because he said so, and we know we can trust Him because He has been faithful to keep all His promises. That is wha the Bible is about. These things were written so we might believe. Yes, He will come back for us. Amen


Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to truly believe that you are coming back and that I need not have a sense of despair, but rather joyful expectation of what is to come.

Amen
