'This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven'.
The disciples has been so enraptured with the presence of Christ after His resurrection from the dead. They wanted Him to form a political government on earth. But that was not the long term plan of God. All children of God should remember always that this earth is not their eternal home. The enjoyment, trials, temptations, victories, triumps over sin, moutain and valley experiences of today should not becloud our eternal vision. This world is not our home. Christ when preparing for His death promised to come back to take us home. 'And I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also'.
If there is any doubt as it relates to His second coming, He revealed to Apostle John after His ascension that He will come again 'And behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be'.
What fruits are you bearing? Are you doing good or evil. If Christ come today, where we should be? When the trump of God shall sound, where will you be?
Will Christ find you occupying in the kingdom work or in lascivious living? Will He find you praying or pompous. He has promised to come back. Be determined to keep yourself in holy living and righteousness on a daily basis. That is the surest way to be found worthy when He comes.
