Jesus promised, “I am coming soon.” Yet what does soon mean to the one who is the eternal God? We don’t know. We want Jesus to return quickly, because we know the Last Day will be a day of great deliverance for us. Yet how long will we have to wait? Will it be in a few months or a few millennia? We cannot know.
As we await Christ’s return, we want to avoid two extremes: impatience and indifference. Let us not despair if the deliverance of the Last Day does not come as quickly as we would like, but let us never doubt that that deliverance will come. How do we avoid those extremes? How does Christ’s church remain ready and watchful? In this last week of the Church Year, our Savior does what he has done all year—point us to his Scriptures. The Scriptures record countless promises that have already been fulfilled in Christ. That assures us that the not-yet-fulfilled promises are as good as done. There is no doubting that the Last Day will come. There is no doubt that that day will be a day of blessed deliverance for God’s people.
