There will be signs…Then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in a cloud’ with power and great glory. Luke 21: 25a, 27
Read Luke 21: 25-28
This picture of the future perhaps doesn’t seem so hopeful. We may shy away from such passages yet the gospel writers felt they were important ingredients in the story of the Son of Man. The awaited day, is it a time to be feared or a time of redemption?
This day imagine Christ’s coming…
Reigning Jesus, it is hard for us to contemplate the shaking of the powers of heaven. It frightens us to think of distress and confusion among nations. And yet our world is in need of redemption. We do await your coming in glory. Guide us, empower us, and make us agents of your reign. Amen.
