Topic: Ready To Go

Memorise: And behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give Everyman according as his work shall be. – Revelation 22:12

Read: John 14:1-3

1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Bible In One Year: Nehemiah 9-11, Acts 4:1-22

MESSAGE:

Apart from the fact that Jesus rose from the dead, He is coming back again. John 14:1-3 says one reason He went away was because of you and I. He went to prepare a place for us. He is coming to take us to those prepared mansions. Are you ready? He is coming.

The signs of His return surround us: the move towards a society, increase in knowledge, lots of people growing cold in the Lord. Even if He tarries, when your time comes to leave you will go. Each time somebody dies, for that fellow, the Lord has returned. Jesus Christ is coming back soon. Are you prepared?

Action Point: What is that thing that can disqualify you from Heaven? Deal with it today before it is too late.

Hymn 7:

1. I am Thine 0 Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Chorus
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

2. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

3. Oh, the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!

4. There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
