verse of the day

Jesus is coming again. ( Acts 1 v 7 )

 Many years ago an elderly Christian man, told me that the Lord told him that he would live to see the Lord returning  before he died, of course it did not happen. Many Christians in their eagerness for Christ's return , stress the signs of the times,there shall be wars and rumours of wars,in Matthew 24 v 6, but our Saviour followed that by saying don't be alarmed,that end is not yet. In verses 6- 14 our Saviour mentions a number  of things that will take place,but there is nothing to indicate a definite time when he would come back again.Jesus is saying, these things  to reassure His followers,not to panic. In spite of  what Jesus said , people have panicked,throughout history, no, let us not  panic,what we must do, in spite of challenging situations,persecution,increase in immorality,lawlessness,and whatever,is to hold on,press on .Verse 14 ends with these words ,'the end will come',when Jesus comes again,(whenever that may be),yes let that hope burn bright in your heart,
