| “The night is nearly over; the day is almost here.” |
| —Romans 13:12a |
Typically, we live our days trying to serve our Savior without thinking very much about the fact that He might return to earth at any time. An old preacher once told me:
“We should work for God’s Kingdom as if Christ wouldn’t return for a thousand years, but live as if He might return in the next moment of time.”
We do the first part quite easily. And, regarding the second part, frankly we rarely think about the return of our Lord. This was not the case with the Apostle Paul. He was very aware that Christ might return at any time, when he wrote the words found in Romans 13:12:
The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
Let us live our lives today, conscious that our Great King Jesus may indeed return to earth at any time. Let us allow the thought that His return is imminent drive us to do all we can to share His great love with others all throughout this day and every day.
