What If You Knew When Jesus Is Returning?

 

I don't remember in which Billy Graham movie I heard him say what I'm about to write, but I certainly remember the sense of anticipation and urgency that welled up within me as I heard him say it.

The Bible says that no man knows the day nor the hour of Christ's return. But what if you did?

What if, through some miraculous means, God endowed you with the knowledge of exactly when Jesus was going to part the skies and return in triumph?

And more to the point, what if you knew he was coming back next month? What changes would you make on your bucket list? What activities would you want to experience before Jesus called an end to time?

Or what if you knew he was returning to judge all of mankind next week? Would there be people you needed to mend fences with? Would there be words of love and appreciation that you made sure you said?

What if God told you, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Jesus Christ was coming back tomorrow? Who would you tell? What would you say?

What about one hour from now? Who would get your first phone call?

What would you do if you knew Jesus was returning in five minutes?

One minute?

By the time you could count down from 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2...

Truth is...None of us know, so all of us should be living as if it could happen at any -
