Will See Our Savior Face To Face

John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. 

                                                                          (Rev 1:4-8 KJV)

We give thanks to him for with his own blood, Jesus washed us from our sins in order to make us kings and priests to God. Because of this precious gift of salvation, when he comes again in full glory we will weep. We will weep for joy at seeing our savior face to face. Others may weep in fear; but, all who believe in his life giving sacrifice will not be afraid. We will rejoice!

That is not to say that Christ is not present with us now. When Jesus gave us the great commission (Matt 28:19-20) he promised us that he would be with us until the end of the world. Yes, the world will end one day. It could be today. It could be a million years from now. In the meantime we wait for the day when we will see our savior with our own eyes as those first disciples did after he rose from the grave. For now we give thanks that he has promised to be with us even today.

God's Peace - Pr. J.
