The Return of Christ | English Devotion | NHFCSG

God gave many promises both in the Old and the New Testaments, and although It took a while for the promise to be fulfilled, it was fulfilled.
In this passage. God promises that He is coming back for us, at the appointed time, true believers will be with Him forever and this promise will soon be fulfilled, as well.
 
1. Troubled Heart
Even the best of Christians has many bitter cups to drink between grace and glory. Even the holiest saints find the world a valley of tears.
Faith in the Lord Jesus is the only sure medicine for troubled hearts.
The disciples may have proved the reality of their faith by giving up everything for Christ's sake., but Jesus once more pressed on them the old lesson, the lesson with which they first began--"Believe! Believe more! Believe on Me!" (Isaiah. 26:3.)
The weakest faith is enough to give a man a saving interest in Christ, and ought not to be despised, but it will not give a man such inward comfort as a strong faith.
 
2. Father’s House
Heaven is a Father's house, the house of that God of whom Jesus says, "I go to my Father, and your Father." It is, in a word, home, the home of Christ and Christians.
This is a sweet and touching expression, as we all know, is the place where we are generally loved for our own sakes, and not for our gifts or possessions; the place where we are loved to the end, never forgotten, and always welcome.
Heaven is a place of Mansions of lasting, permanent, and eternal dwellings and here we have no continuing city." (Heb. 13:14.) Our house not made with hands shall never be taken down.
Heaven is a place of many mansions and there will be room for all believers and room for all sorts, for little saints as well as great ones, for the weakest believer as well as for the strongest and none will be shut out but impenitent sinners and obstinate unbelievers.
Heaven is a place where Christ himself will be present and we need not think that we shall be alone and neglected.
Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people--a place which we shall find Christ Himself has made ready for true Christians.
3. The 2nd coming of Christ
Jesus has prepared heaven by going before us as our Head and Representative, and taking possession of it for all the members of His mystical body.
He has marched in, leading captivity captive, and has planted His banner in the land of glory. 
He has prepared it by carrying our names with Him as our High Priest into the holy of holies, and making angels ready to receive us and those who enter heaven will find they are neither unknown nor unexpected.
Christ will not wait for believers to come up to Him, but will come down to them, to raise them from their graves and escort them to their heavenly home.
Great is the blessedness of looking back to Christ coming the first time to suffer for us, but no less great is the comfort of looking forward to Christ coming the second time, to raise and reward His saints.
Christ will not leave His people forever, but will come back again
 
Let us Pray:
Heavenly Father, thank You that we are Your child and that the Lord Jesus is at this very moment preparing a place for us in heaven. How wonderful is it to know that one day Jesus is returning to take us to be with him forever. Thank You for Your many reassurances, we trust Your word, for You are our faithful and true heavenly Father – in Jesus name we pray, AMEN.
