Paul calls the return of Jesus 'the blessed hope.' Not a fearful event. Not something to dread. The blessed hope. Jesus is coming back. And when He returns, everything that is wrong will be made right. Every tear will be wiped away. Every injustice will be corrected. Every broken thing will be restored. That is what you are waiting for. And the waiting is not passive — it is active. You wait by living with hope today. You wait by being a person of hope in a world that desperately needs it.
Lord Jesus, I wait for Your return with hope and anticipation. Let the blessed hope of Your coming shape how I live today.
