Come Quickly, Lord Jesus!

For Tuesday, May 19, 2026:

Revelation 22:20 NLT: “He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming soon!’ Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!”

In the language Jesus spoke, the word was “maranatha,” “surely I will come quickly.” Jesus said he would return, and as the Bible wraps up, his promise is once again confirmed. No longer just prophecy, Jesus’ return will put the End Times scenario in motion right before our eyes!

Those who have read Christian theology clearly understand that life is better when Jesus is with us. So Christians pray, “Come quickly, Lord Jesus!” Please don’t let too much time pass. We need you, and we need you now! There’s always an implied urgency in these prayers. “Come quickly, the sooner the better!”

As we strive to make disciples of all nations, God has started the End Times countdown. It will progress at His pace. God’s timing is always perfect!

Revelation concludes, “May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with all of God’s holy people. Amen!”

For Friday, June 13, 2025:

Luke 12:38 NLT, Jesus speaking: “The Lord may come in the middle of the night or just before dawn. But whenever he comes, he will reward the servants who are ready.”

When the Hebrew people were about to be liberated from slavery in Egypt, they were told to eat standing up. They consumed unleavened bread that could be prepared quickly. They were to keep their walking sticks at hand and to tuck in their tunics to facilitate running. God was about to show up and perform a miracle, and he wanted his people ready to go – quickly!

In today’s scripture, Jesus is oddly speaking in the third person. When we witness what we call the second coming, it will be him, Jesus, who comes to gather the faithful. He wants to find us solidly locked in with those obeying God’s commands. When Jesus arrives on his white horse, will you be ready to fly in the sky alongside your Savior?

A man once asked Jesus about eternal life. Jesus said, “Follow me.”

The man hesitated. “First let me bury my dead relative.” That was the wrong answer. When Jesus says to get going, the correct time is NOW, not later!

When Jesus advised Levi, the tax collector, to follow him, he immediately left the tax booth. We now know him as Matthew the Apostle! That’s how it’s done!

Let’s meet up in the sky!
