Selwyn now moves on to another of God’s great surprises.
He says: ‘We end our consideration of some of the ways in which we are ‘surprised by God’ by looking at a surprise that is still in the future. I refer to the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. … There seems to be a great deal of misunderstanding and false teaching about the second coming of Christ in certain Christian circles.’
It’s my view that those who say that Jesus will not be returning do not have a relationship with God; they do not have the Spirit of Jesus directing their lives – they are currently lost, and a long way from home.
The prayer for today is excellent: “Gracious and loving God, please help me to stay alert and watchful for Your coming. May I work as if You were not coming for a thousand years, but live as if You might come today. In Christ’s name I ask it. Amen.”
I recommend that we all live this way. Do you agree?
