HE IS COMING

READING: MATTHEW 24:27-31

Verse 30: “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven withpower and great glory.”

Let’s direct some thought to the last two words of that verse. What is great glory? To your mind and to your way of seeing things, what appears to you as glorious? Would it be a brilliant sunset? Maybe it would be the Grand Canyon or a resplendent castle on a mountaintop. Would it be the wonder of childbirth, or possibly the expanse of an ocean? Many different images would come to individual minds as people have their own impressions of what constitutes glory. In spite of all this personal variety, there is something that is true for us all. Nothing that any person can conceive, or even that the total of all people combined can imagine, that will match the glory of the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven. We can praise the Lord because that day is coming! That’s a thought – about God’s Word.

RESPONSE

1. If you knew He will be arriving on those clouds tomorrow, what would you want to do before then?

2. What will you do with that thing or those things if He doesn’t come tomorrow?
