Lately I have been hearing about Jesus coming back soon and when I think about that I feel so happy and look forward to that but I don't understand why. Could you please explain to me if it is good that I am very happy every time I think about that?
I love that you get excited about that!! A lot of people have been deceived to believe that what we have going on here in this life is better than what we have waiting for us with Jesus, so they never think about what's coming and how amazing it's going to be. Or they think Heaven will be boring and they'll have to float around with harps or singing church music that they hate for all eternity. Or, even more messed up, they think that Jesus and Heaven will be disappointing and they'll want what they had here. Couldn't be further from the truth. I promise it will make everything here, even the very best stuff, look like dirt. Friends, family, boyfriends, sex, marriage, babies, traveling the world, excitement, adventure, you name it - dirt. Imagine you've waited your whole life for the perfect person to swoop in and make everything right. He'll be thrilled to see you and you'll finally know what it means to be whole and happy without even a hint of sadness or fear or anxiety or any of the bad stuff. You'll never worry about anything ever again and each day will be filled with joy and laughter and new experiences. You'll get to spend forever with this one Perfect Person, the love of your life, and nobody can ever take that away from you. You know the fairy tale we all grew up with about a knight riding in on a white horse to save the day? Here's where that comes from:
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. - Revelations 19:11-12
Jesus is the original White Knight and He's promised to come and get us out of this mess. And I can't think of anything more exciting than that.
