Word Of The Week: We Shall Be Like Him- 1 John 3:2-3
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 1 John 3:2-3
Meditation/Action
The bedrock of the Christian faith is the return of Jesus, our Messiah. That is our hope and our greatest expectation. It is greater than every earthly blessing we may be expecting from God. It’s more precious than silver and gold. The world and everything in it will be gone one day, but we will be with Jesus forever.
Verse 3 of 1 John 3 says that … every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. In anticipation of the return of Jesus you get ready for him by living in His way which is the way of righteousness. Sin does not enter Heaven. Righteousness does. When we come to Jesus, confessing and repenting of our sins, He makes His grace available to us, to keep us in His plan of righteousness. Jesus is pure. He is our example. We follow in His footsteps.
When Jesus appears, we shall be like Him. Our mortality shall put on immortality. Our joy will have no bounds and the bliss shall be forever. This should be your hope everyday. The return of Jesus for His saints should be in your focus each day you live. Be ready for Him. Get prepared for this great event. When He appears, we shall be like Him and we will live with Him forever. He is coming to take us so that where He is, we will also be. Rise up each day with this beautiful hope renewed in you.
