Hello, this is pastor gary from first baptist church of laplata. Today’s “Throwback Thursday” is from Monday, September 28, 2020. Jesus is coming back. This is a fact. All Christians believe this fact, we just differ on the timing. Some believe Jesus will return before the tribulation, others during the tribulation, and still others after the tribulation. I have my view, but I am not dogmatic about it; the Scriptures are nebulous enough on the topic to allow for various interpretations. I like what I read last week that Jesus’ return is not a riddle to be solved, a code to be broken, but a day to be anticipated. We are to look forward to Jesus’ return regardless of when it happens. We are to be ready for Jesus’ return at any moment—even if it doesn’t fit our personal, theological framework. Every generation for the past 2000 years has thought that it was the terminal generation that would witness the return of Christ—ours is the first generation that could actually experience it. Will we see Christ return in our lifetimes? I don’t know, but I am ready. Make sure you are ready and are helping get others ready, too.
