In the last days, it is our greatest hope to receive the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. To help all the people who yearn for God’s appearance to welcome the return of the Lord Jesus Christ soon, our blog will update the latest message on the return of the Lord.
This verse teaches us: Be just and honorable when doing things. Do not do shameful things. And do things not only in the sight of God, but also in the sight of men. This is a kind of practice of being honest. For example, when we do something wrong, we can say before God. But it won’t be easy for us to lay bare ourselves and admit that we are wrong before others. If we want to be an honest person approved by God, we should not only let God know our actions and deeds, but we should also lay ourselves open to others.
Not every one that said to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.
-Matthew 7:21
Thoughts on Today’s Bible Verse:
I believe that every Christian brothers and sisters are familiar with this verse. But have we ever considered that how to follow the will of the Heavenly Father? When I began to develop faith in the Lord, I thought that as long as I accepted the salvation of the Lord, I would have a place in the heavenly kingdom. Recently, when I read the Bible, I noticed that the Lord said only those who follow the will of the Heavenly Father can enter the heavenly kingdom, and not everyone who calls out to the Lord can enter it. And I think so. Though many people believe in the Lord in name, they cannot put the Lord’s words into practice in real life. Sometimes, when something unpleasant happens to us, we will complain or do things relying on our hot blood. Sometimes, we only show forbearance and endurance to others outwardly, but we hate them in our hearts. What’s more, in order to protect our personal interests, we intrigue against one another and have jealousy and strife. Even many people attend meetings following forms, not for gaining the truth. They pursue the trend of the world, lusting for wealth and reputation, and focusing on eating, drinking, and having fun. The Bible says, “For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries” (Heb 10:26-27). “…and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” (Heb 12:14). From these, we can understand that though we have been redeemed by Jesus, it does not mean that we are without sin for our sinful nature still exists. The Lord is holy. If we cannot achieve purification, we cannot become those who follow the will of God, and surely we cannot enter the heavenly kingdom. The Bible says, “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God” (1Pe 4:17). Obviously, the Lord will judge mankind. We need to accept God’s judgment and salvation in the last days. Only if we completely break free from sin and become those who are in line with God’s heart, will we be eligible to enter the heavenly kingdom.
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
-John 3:19
Thoughts on Today’s Bible Verse:
When the light comes into the world, in theory man should be happy. Why did Jesus say that men love darkness rather than light? At that time, in order to save those who were bound by the law, Jesus became flesh to do the work of redemption. Jesus did lots of things that didn’t conform to people’s notions and the Pharisees were afraid that the Israelites would follow Jesus and they would lose their status, so they condemned and resisted Jesus constantly. They scolded that Jesus did not observe the Sabbath and judge Him as an ordinary man. Thus, they were condemned by God. By contrary, those who were wise could put aside their notions and imaginations, and seek the truth. It is like Peter: He could humbly listen to the word of the Lord and knew the Lord from His words, finally the Lord praised him and gave him the keys to the kingdom of heaven. It can be seen that God loves those who can listen to His words and accept His salvation. A passage of words crossed my mind, “Put aside your view of ‘impossible’! The more that people believe something is impossible, the more likely it is to occur, for the wisdom of God soars higher than the heavens, God’s thoughts are higher than man’s thoughts, and the work of God transcends the limits of man’s thinking and conception. The more that something is impossible, the more there is the truth to be sought; the more that something is beyond the conception and imagination of man, the more it contains the will of God. Because no matter where God reveals Himself, God is still God, and His substance will never change because of the location or manner of His appearance. The disposition of God remains the same regardless of where His footprints are. No matter where the footprints of God are, He is the God of all mankind. For example, the Lord Jesus is not only the God of Israelites, but is also the God of all people in Asia, Europe, and America, and even more the only God in the entire universe. So let us seek God’s will and discover His appearance from His utterances, and follow His footprints!” If we wish to welcome the Lord’s return, we need to transcend our notions and imaginations, and learn to seek the truth. God’s wisdom is unfathomable, so we need to humbly seek where God’s words are. We should follow the Lamb wherever He goes.
Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
-Matthew 22:37
Thoughts on Today’s Bible Verse:
This is the most important commandment. The Lord hopes that we can love Him with all our heart, with all our mind, and without our impurity or demands, or misunderstandings of God or suspicion. He hopes that we can love Him more than love our family and marriage, and expend our whole life for Him.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
-John 3:16
Thoughts on Today’s Verse… This verse is the basis by which many Christians believe in the Lord. We can see God’s great love for mankind from that. Looking back to the Old Testament Age of Law, the people’s sin became set in stone and they were not able to abide by the laws. If they continued like that, they would be stoned to death. So, God personally became flesh to come into this world and was nailed to the cross to redeem mankind from sin with His blood. Those who believed in the Lord are no longer of sin and have the opportunity to get the way of eternal life. We know that Jesus Christ spread the way of repentance. He preached, “Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Mat 4:17). Jesus requires people to confess his sins and repent, not to commit sins, not to do evil, to deny himself, take up the cross, and follow the Lord, to love the Lord with all his heart, his soul, and his mind, to love others as himself, with humility, forbearance and patience, and to forgive others seventy times seven and so on, which qualifies man to pray before God and fellowship with Him, and enjoy the bountiful grace given by God. Then how to gain the way of eternal life mentioned in this verse?
Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man comes.
-Matthew 24:44
Thoughts on Today’s Bible Verse:
Two thousand years ago, the Lord Jesus said, “And, behold, I come quickly” (Rev 3:11). All those who truly believe in the Lord obsessively hope that they can be raptured into the kingdom of heaven when He comes again. Everyone firmly believes that the Lord will come again in the last days, but how will He come and how will He appear to us?
And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
-Matthew 16:16
Thoughts on Today’s Bible Verse:
When Peter followed Jesus, he found Jesus’ words were the truth and His work was beyond the reach of man. In addition, he was enlightened by the Holy Spirit, so he could recognize the Lord Jesus is the Christ. But why is Jesus called Christ, and what is Christ?
One day, I read two passages of words, “The incarnate God is called Christ, and Christ is the flesh donned by the Spirit of God. This flesh is unlike any man that is of the flesh. This difference is because Christ is not of flesh and blood but is the incarnation of the Spirit. He has both a normal humanity and a complete divinity. His divinity is not possessed by any man. His normal humanity sustains all His normal activities in the flesh, while His divinity carries out the work of God Himself.” “God become flesh is called Christ, and so the Christ that can give people the truth is called God. There is nothing excessive about this, for He possesses the substance of God, and possesses God’s disposition, and wisdom in His work, that are unattainable by man. Those who call themselves Christ, yet cannot do the work of God, are frauds. Christ is not merely the manifestation of God on earth, but instead, the particular flesh assumed by God as He carries out and completes His work among man. This flesh is not one that can be replaced by just any man, but one that can adequately bear God’s work on earth, and express the disposition of God, and well represent God, and provide man with life.”
The Lord Jesus said, “And if any man hear My words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects Me, and receives not My words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.”
Welcome the Lord Jesus Christ's Return
