Most Christians are happy to think that the Lord Jesus Christ
will return and put things right.
But I ask the important question – what do we want to see
achieved by His coming?
I will give a list and you can decide:
1
Set Christians free from pain and suffering.
2
Establish justice in the world.
3
Take revenge for persecuted Christians.
4
Raise those who have died.
5
Restore Israel to faith in the Messiah.
6
Remove all unbelievers.
7
Establish His throne in Jerusalem
8
Vindicate God as creator and judge.
9
Reward faith and faithfulness.
10
Declare to all, that Jesus is the Son of God.
11
Wipe away all tears of grief and sorrow.
12
Judge all sin, violence, blaspheme, rebellion etc

Each
one of us should stop and consider the answer – is it ourselves we are thinking
of, or is it others, or is it the Lord!
My
personal answer is :- I long to see the rejected Lord Jesus vindicated as the
Son of God, the true Messiah, the only Saviour for the world.
“Amen , even so come Lord Jesus”
