Do You Know Christ? Does He Know You?

Prayer – Lord, I look forward to a glorious resurrection—much like Yours. I’m waiting patiently. I’ve always thought that Your return and calling Your believers to heaven would happen in my lifetime…but I’ve been waiting now for over fifty years…and it hasn’t happened. Still I’m pressing on to the goal of perfection and of a home in Heaven with You…and a billion other Christians! What a glorious place that will be! Come quickly, Lord Jesus.

 

Meditate. Consider the resurrection experience of Jesus Christ…and what yours will be like one day.

 

The Empty Garden Tomb
Jerusalem, Israel
Are you really ready to experience the resurrection from the dead? Can you forget the past and look forward to what lies ahead? What does lie ahead? Consider what Jesus went through for you…and then after three days in the tomb, He was resurrected. He has promised that you will be resurrected, too, just like He was. We will become perfect and ready to serve Christ as kings and priests in His Kingdom. Do you know Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords—in your own life? Does He see you as an obedient servant—one who will serve one day in His Kingdom?

 

In the Lord’s Prayer, we pray…thy Kingdom come, thy will be done. Are you spiritually ready for God’s Kingdom to come…for you to go where He wants you to go to serve Him? Be ready, for we don’t know the hour or the day that He wants us to serve Him…or to go to be with Him in Heaven.


Verses of Salvation ~ And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment, so also Christ died once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him. Hebrews 9:27-28 NLT
