As I finish my study today on the word “shine(s)” I am taken to that glorious time of Christ’s return. I have read and watched those that claim to know what the rapture will look and feel like, but I have also remained realistic in “how can they know, they have not experienced it”. I have come to trust that which is from God to lean on Him for information with all things.
“27For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” – Matthew 24:27 (ESV)
These words come from Christ, and they are where my trust lies. You see, Christ will be coming back in a flash and all will know. He will shine bright for all to see, and those of us that have trusted Him and accepted the gift of salvation will be taken home with Him and those that have not accepted will be left wondering what it was they missed. Either way, we will all see the light that shines that is Christ.
Light shining in the darkness is unmistakable. I am not able to miss the bright headlight of a train coming down the track in the darkness of night. I know that I will not miss the flash of light that is Christ when He returns. I won’t even have to look for it, I will know when He comes. You will know when He returns as well based on His light that shines for all to see.
Will you be aware of what the light that shines on Christ’s return means? Are you going to see and wonder or will you see and rejoice? Christ shines today, and will shine bright for all to see when He returns, will you be prepared for the light that is Christ?
