Show Notes

When we live with expectancy of the Lord’s soon Return, it changes our perspective of the world around us and awakens us to be more committed to our calling as ambassadors of Light and Truth to this sin-riddled and darkened world.

There is also a great blessing yet to come for those who live in this heartfelt expectancy. In 2 Timothy 4:8, we read Paul’s strengthening words of longing devotion: “In the future there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.”

In the Book named for him, Peter also exhorted us “to be looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God.”

Matthew Henry’s commentary on the 2 Peter Chapter 3 passage explains why some are longing for the Lord’s Return and others are not. It reads: “The purified minds of Christians are to be stirred up, that they may be active and lively in the work of holiness. There will be scoffers in the last days, under the gospel, men who make light of sin, and mock at salvation by Jesus Christ. One very principle article of our faith refers to what only has a promise to rest upon, and scoffers will attack it till our Lord is come. They will not believe that He will come.”

But come He will and much sooner than many believe.
