💁🏻 Concept: Imminent
The imminence of Christ’s return means that His coming could happen at any moment. While we don’t know the exact time, we are called to live in constant readiness and anticipation. Christ’s return is certain, and it will be glorious—bringing justice, restoration, and the fulfillment of all God’s promises. The call to be ready is not one of fear, but of hope, urgency, and faith, knowing that Christ is coming to make all things new.

Personal View:

Agree: I agree that Christ’s return is imminent in the sense that we do not know the exact date of His return.
Disagree: I disagree, however, that Christ’s return could happen at any moment. I believe He will return after the triumph of the Great Commission and the defeat of most of His enemies (see Matthew 28:18–20; Psalm 110:1; Acts 2:34–35; Hebrews 10:12–13; Daniel 2:35, 44; Matthew 13:31–33; Revelation 11:15; Isaiah 2:2–4; 1 Corinthians 15:24–26).

📖 Bible Readings: Hebrews 9:28
(Matthew 24:42-44; Matthew 25; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18; Revelation 22:12; Mark 13:32-37; Luke 12:35-40; 2 Peter 3:10; 2 Timothy 4:8; Titus 2:11-13; Philippians 1:21-23, 3:20; Hebrews 9:28)

🙏🏼 Prayer:
Lord God, I wait in eager expectation for the return of Jesus. Help me to live with readiness and enable me to participate in the advancement of the Great Commission. Strengthen my heart to live faithfully, even in the midst of uncertainty. May I use my time wisely, serving You and others, so that when You return, I will hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Fill me with hope and joy, knowing that Christ’s return will bring all things to completion and restore all things. Until then, help me to keep my eyes fixed on You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
