I just seen a contest, about when you see Jesus face to face, what side of the throne will you be on. I know that I am saved, I will be on His side! Thanks to His amazing love, grace and mercy. Definitely not by my own doing! But the question was also asked, would you be trembling. I have to say that I seriously hope He doesn't come really soon. I don't think Ive done a lot for Him at this point. I want to serve Him more, and do better in my walk. 1
But (there's always a but :-P) I do want to be down here when He comes. I realize it will be crazy and really hard times at the end. Much worse than it is now... and its not good. But I want to be down here when the trumpet goes off, and my Savior is on His horse, flying down through the clouds! I want to throw my arms up in a victory cry and welcome Him back as He establishes His kingdom! I want to join in the troops behind Him! I just imagine as He bursts through those clouds, EVERY SINGLE knee will be hitting the ground! My fellow brothers and sisters with tears of joy and relief, filled with the utmost respect for our Shepherd! What I'm not looking forward to is those around us, that aren't saved. And its to late. The faces of those who know they made a big big mistake. Knowing they rejected Him, gave their lives to go against Him. And there He is, mightier, more glorious than can be imagined... they know their done! Their tears are filled with sadness, probably anger beyond belief, regret, maybe denial. And for an eternity they will live like that, in pain and suffering. Not because God is an evil God who wants to send people to Hell. But because they wouldn't humble themselves, they wouldn't accept the only gift that could save them. God gave everything for them, He gave His Son for them!!! 2
I am thankful for the blood of the Lamb! For the free gift, so undeserved! But I have to live it, not just say it.
