Can you detect it? Something is changing. Humanity seems restless and wanting. It is hard to find contentment, and our compassion for others is dulled as we strive to carry on and to take care of our own. Loneliness is spreading like a disease, and so much of the population feels an unquenchable emptiness. Perhaps it's time to recognize the quiet voice speaking to us and warning us of an approaching finale that must be acknowledged. Before Jesus left, He spoke with the disciples regarding His return. He warned them to remain expectant and vigilant. His message applies to each of us personally today. It is a message of hope and purpose. It is a message that seems, more than ever before, relevant to us today. Return takes us on an awe-inspiring journey requiring that we consider the kingdom of God and our place in time as we contemplate the events leading to the return of Christ. John quotes Jesus in Revelation 22:20, "Yes, I am coming soon." And then John adds his own prayer, "Amen. Come, Lord Jesus." Let us also add our own prayer request to John's. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
