He’ll Be Back
S. O. A. P.
Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional!
S-cripture:
Acts 1:11
“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”
O-bservation:
On the day that Jesus ascended into heaven from the Mount of Olives, the disciples stood gazing at Him while he ascended. Suddenly the scripture said that two men were standing beside them dressed in white and asked them why they looked up into heaven. They said that Jesus, who had just ascended, would one day come back from heaven just as they had seen him go. The disciples headed back to their upper room, confident that “He’ll Be Back.”
A-pplication:
Have you ever wondered when Jesus is returning to the earth? Since I was a small boy, I woke up every morning wondering why Jesus had not returned while I was sleeping. Seriously, my parents were real believers, and mom still is a real believer. She taught us kids that Jesus could and probably would return any minute. That’s the way I lived as a child, and that’s the way I still approach my day. Why? Because I’m aware that as much as I work the mission God has given me here on earth, and I do enjoy it immensely, there’s still in my heart a great desire for Jesus to return. In fact, I’ve just finished a book about the coming of the Lord. So you must know that I’m into it. With all of my heart, I seriously believe that sooner or later, and probably sooner, “He’ll Be Back!”
P-rayer:
Dear Jesus,
I’m hoping You return this AM. If not, certainly tonight when I go to sleep. But either way, I know that I know that I know, “You’re Coming Back, Real Soon!” Amen
