There was no question as to who Jesus was. He fulfilled every prophecy ever written about Him. He spoke with authority, He did miracles, He left His home in Heaven and took on the form of man, He died on the cross, He rose again three days later. He even told the people who He was and still He was rejected by men (another fulfilled prophecy.)

I wonder how we would receive Him if He came today. In this world of darkness, people are crying out for answers, for hope and for help. As we see people falling further and further away from Jesus and the truth of our forgiveness., it seems the perfect time for him to return to us. We don’t know when that day will come, but we still can open our hearts and souls to Him right now.

Dear, Lord, Jesus, help me and others to recognize you and not be afraid. Your love for us is incomprehensible and you give it freely. You are the light that fills a dark world with hope and promise. Teach us, through your Word, to know all about you, so we will be prepared for your final coming. In Jesus’ holy name, Amen!
