It is sold like fire insurance by many churches. Always has been. Or, better yet, like frequent flier miles to be taken on your trip. I suggest we don’t wait for Messiah to gather us up, but we prepare the way for his coming. Don’t look up in the clouds, search your heart and let him in. Entire lives have been wasted by “waiting” for his return.
And let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds. Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (Hebrews 10:24,25)
