 My hope does not rest in the affairs of this world. It trust in Christ who is coming again. ~Billy Graham~

Colossians 3:4 (KJV) When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

So all this born again business I have been writing about is about life. Where did this come from? Great question.  

John 1:4 (KJV) In him (Jesus) was life; and the life was the light of men.

John 3:15 (KJV) That whosoever believeth in him(Jesus)

 should not perish, but have eternal life.

John 5:24 (KJV) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him(God)

 that sent me,(Jesus) hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

John 5:39 (KJV) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.(Jesus)

Colossians 3:4 (KJV) When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

When what? “who is our life” think that would be Jesus? I think so according to the verses I wrote above. In Jesus was life. Oh that’s what it said; but then we read “shall appear” wait a minute Jesus isn’t here He is gone, Jesus had already been crucified, how is Jesus going to appear? I’m sure you have seen signs that read “Jesus is coming again” or ”Jesus is coming soon.” No those signs were not written by some former person who has taken drugs for the last 30 years and is delusional. Oh no!  

Acts 1:11 (KJV) Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

1 Thessalonians 4:15 (KJV) For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. (Dead)

Hebrews 9:28 (KJV) So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

There’s a lot of people looking for Jesus' return, but there’s many who aren’t. I truly believe it won’t be long. As I listen and see what is going on around us in the hour we live. One would have to be blind not seeing things getting worse day by day. Our leaders don’t fear God, maybe because they think they are in charge. They aren’t and one day when God has had enough He will return. God had enough in Noah’s day and God had enough in Lot’s day. What do you think?? Luke 17:26 (KJV) And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

Luke 17:28 (KJV) Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

Luke 17:30 (KJV) Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

If you take the time to see what was happening in those time periods you might find that those same things are happening now. I’m not gloom and doom by no means but you would have to agree we are closer today than yesterday of the Lord's return.
