I am coming quickly

"Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book." -Revelation 22:7

Christ's promise is that He is coming again and quickly. Our temptation, two millennia removed from the these words, is to doubt and enter into a state of complacency - to ignore God's word rather than keep it. Do not cast aside your hope! Our God is faithful! Paul writes, "If in this life only we have hope we are of all men most pitiable."* Take heart! Christ is coming again. We have an eternal hope that surpasses this lifetime. He promised that He is making a place for us that where He is we should be with Him also.** Imagine! If in six days God created the earth and all of the wonders in it - how much more astounding will our heavenly home be! Do not fall into that most despicable state warned against by Peter where men scoff and say, "Since the fathers slept all is as it has been. Where is his coming?" Know this, "Christ is not slack concerning His promises but is long-suffering toward us not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."*** Watch and pray. Our Lord is coming quickly.
