The King Will Come Again

"He who testifies to these things says, 'Yes, I am coming soon'. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people. Amen." (Revelation 22:20-21)
Scripture Focus: 1 Thessalonians 4:13; 2 Peter 3:3-14

What a thrilling prospect: Jesus will come again in glory! He will usher in a new heaven and a new earth, bringing everything to perfection. Sin and death will be no more. There will be no pain, no regret, no disappointment, no loss. Every tear will be wiped away by the King Himself.

Each of us will be perfect - and that includes having perfect bodies to replace our present creaking frames! The King will have work for each of us to do in the new order. Forget about those notions of harps and clouds!

The coming of all things new doesn't mean we should consider our present responsibilities and struggles to be not worthwhile. All that is done for the King here will be of use there. Nothing is wasted of all the good we accomplish for the King in this life; He will incorporate it into the new order.

We read in Revelation 21:24-26 that the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into the new Jerusalem - the new order - and that the glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it.

Insight: What quality of work should we be doing right now in light of the fact that it will be used for an eternity?
