Do you ache for Jesus to return and restore?
Surely I am coming soon. Revelation 22:20
Lord Jesus,
In this season of celebrating your first arrival,
our longings are piqued for your second arrival.
You say, “Surely I am coming soon” (Revelation 22:20),
and we say, “How soon is soon?”
As we see the glory and healing and hope
you brought at your first coming,
as we see the many wonders that await us
when you return,
oh how eager we are,
far more eager than a five-year-old
on Christmas Eve.
For we know the gifts you bring on that day
will never get old or boring:
the complete intimacy with you and others,
the full healing from sin and sickness,
the perfect peace with all who love you,
the lovely diversity and abundant life…
All gifts whose shine will never fade away—
these are the things we most deeply long for.
You say, “Surely, I am coming soon.”
We say, “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!”
Read Revelation 21-22.
