📖 “Yes, I am coming soon.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
(Revelation 22:20)
Christian hope does not end with reflection.
It ends with promise.
From the first page of Scripture to the last, God’s story moves toward restoration. What was broken will be healed. What was lost will be found. What was begun in humility will be completed in glory.
The final promise of the Bible is not an explanation of events but a declaration from Jesus Himself: “I am coming soon.”
This is why I love Jesus.
❤️ He is coming again.
1️⃣ I love Jesus because His return completes what His coming began
Jesus came quietly, born in obscurity, laid in a manger. He walked among us, bore our sin, conquered death, and ascended in glory. But the story does not end with His ascension. His return is not an interruption of redemption. It is its fulfilment.
The same Christ who came in humility will return in majesty. The One who wore a crown of thorns will return as King. The work He finished at the cross will be revealed in full when He comes again.
His return assures me that God does not abandon His purposes halfway. What He began in grace, He will complete in glory.
2️⃣ I love Jesus because His coming again gives meaning to unfinished stories
Much in this world remains unresolved. Justice is partial. Healing is incomplete. Longings linger. Some prayers are answered in ways we do not expect. Others seem unanswered still.
The promise of Christ’s return does not deny these realities. It places them within hope.
When Jesus comes again, suffering will not merely be explained. It will be undone. Evil will not simply be restrained. It will be defeated. Tears will not just be comforted. They will be wiped away.
This promise allows me to live faithfully without demanding closure now. The final chapter belongs to Christ, not to history’s uncertainties.
3️⃣ I love Jesus because His return anchors my waiting
Waiting is one of the great disciplines of faith. We wait in a world that prizes immediacy. We wait for justice, for healing, for restoration, for answers. Christian waiting is not passive. It is hopeful.
The early church lived with this expectation: Maranatha.
Come, Lord.
They did not know when He would return, but they were certain that He would. That certainty shaped how they lived, how they endured, and how they loved.
Christ’s promise steadies my waiting. It keeps me from despair when progress is slow and from pride when success comes. I am reminded that faithfulness matters more than outcomes, because the final outcome is secure.
4️⃣ I love Jesus because His coming again renews creation, not escapes it
The Christian hope is not an escape from the world, but the renewal of it. Jesus is not coming to discard creation, but to redeem it fully. The resurrection of Christ is the pattern for what is to come.
This gives dignity to daily life. What we do in love is not wasted. What is done in Christ carries eternal weight. Even the smallest acts of faithfulness are gathered into God’s future.
Because Jesus is coming again, the present is meaningful, not meaningless. Hope is not postponed. It is active.
5️⃣ I love Jesus because His return invites readiness, not fear
For those who belong to Christ, His return is not a threat. It is comfort. Not anxiety, but assurance. The Judge is the Savior. The King is the Shepherd. The One who is coming is the One who loves us.
This promise calls me to live attentively, not anxiously. To hold the world lightly. To love deeply. To walk faithfully. To keep my eyes lifted beyond the immediate horizon.
The hope of His return does not distract me from life. It frees me to live it well.
