Titus 2:13 - Christ Is Coming Again.

Titus 2:13 (NLT) we look forward with hope 
to that wonderful day when the glory of our 
great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be 
revealed. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   One of the best ways to get rid of 
discouragement is to remember that Christ is coming again. 
What is happening in your life right now is not 
going to last forever!  
   The most thrilling, glorious truth in all 
the world is the second coming of Jesus Christ. 
When we look about today and see pessimism on 
every side, we should remember the Bible is the 
only book in the world that reliably predicts the 
future. The Bible is more modern than tomorrow's 
newspaper. It says the consummation of all things shall 
be the coming again of Jesus Christ to this 
earth. 
   This truth gives us hope - but it should 
also sober us and make us more diligent. After 
all, we do not know when Christ will return. 
Jesus Himself said, "Of that day and hour no one 
knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father 
only" (Matt. 24:36). Believing in the return of 
Christ doesn't make us less concerned about this 
world; it makes us more concerned, because we know 
time may be short. Now is the time to live for 
Christ and witness for Him. 
   Believers happily anticipate Christs 
return because it signals the end of our earthly 
struggles.  Knowing that he could return at any time 
should also instilled in us an urgency to share the 
gospel with those around us.  Who, in your life, 
needs to hear the good news of the Cross today?

COMMENTARY

As Though It Were Your Last
   When someone asked the great evangelist 
Dwight L. Moody how he would spend the day if he 
knew it was his last one, he said he wouldnt 
do anything differently than he did every day. 
   That is the way we all should live as 
Christians. 
   We can find a lot in the Bible about the 
Lords return. In the 260 chapters in the New 
Testament, Christs return is mentioned no less than 
318 times. Statistically, one out of every 
twenty-five verses in the Bible mentions the return of 
Jesus Christ. 
   For the sake of a point, lets say we 
knew that Jesus Christ was returning at 3:00 
tomorrow afternoon. Im sure we would all look like 
saints at 2:45. Wed be wearing our Sunday 
morning smiles with our come-quickly-Jesus 
attitudes. 
   Of course, we know this isnt possible, 
because no one knows the day or the hour. Jesus said 
of His return, However, no one knows the day 
or hour when these things will happen, not even 
the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only 
the Father knows (Matthew 24:36 NLT). 
   But the fact is that we ought to live 
this way every day. We have never been closer to 
the Lords return than we are right now. 
   The Bible says, But you must not 
forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like 
a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand 
years is like a day. The Lord isnt really being 
slow about his promise, as some people think. No, 
he is being patient for your sake. He does not 
want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone 
to repent (2 Peter 3:8"9 NLT). 
   We should live every day as though it 
were the day Christ is coming back. We should 
live every day as though it were our last. [Greg
