    Christ's return is certain, but its timing is not. We can be ready for Him. Our salvation is assured and He has destined us to be with Him forever.

    Jesus taught that the Son of Man would return when we least expect him. This has implications for future, end-time theology as well as present-day, right-now living. Our Father wants us to live with expectant hope because He can show up in any situation at any moment.

Jesus actually said that there would be signs in the sun, moon, and stars before He comes back. You know how we use our ...read more
