BRUCE is out riding on his tricycle. He is watching and waiting for his daddy, so that he can go to meet him. He is looking forward to the time when they can be together.
Our blessed Lord Jesus Christ is coming for us some day.
“For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” 1 Thess. 4:16, 1716For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:16‑17).
“Surely I come quickly,” says the Lord.
Our Lord wants us to watch and wait for His coming. If He is in our hearts, we are ready for His coming.
Bruce is learning this little song to sing to the tune of “Jesus Loves Me This I Know.”
Some glad morning, night or noon,
Past the sun and stars and moon;
Jesus will come down to take
Those He loves for His own sake.
Jesus is coming, Jesus is coming,
Jesus is coming; the Bible tells me so.
