Message
What is our hope as Christians, and
why have we chosen to turn our backs on the world and its pleasures? It is the
hope of glory, honour, immortality and an eternity spent in the bosom of our
Lord (Romans 2:7). This mother of all hopes
shall be made manifest at the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Normally, a person hopes for something good and pleasant. However, for the children of God, there is no hope that compares with the return of Jesus to Earth. It is on account of this hope of Jesus
returning for His people, that
Apostle Paul confidently declared in 1 Thessalonians
4:13-14 that:Normally, a person hopes for something good and pleasant. However, for the children of God, there is no hope that compares with the return of Jesus to Earth. It is on account of this hope of Jesus
“But I would not have you
to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not,
even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose
again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.”
Jesus is the grace of God that brings salvation
by the gospel. The return of Jesus puts an end to all pain, all suffering, all
disappointment, poverty, failures, battles, conflicts, sorrows and defeats. For
those in Him, who eagerly look forward to His coming, I write this to you: His
imminent return is very much around the corner, based on the signs of His
return as given to us in the Bible. Note that today’s scripture passage
provides certain dos and don’ts for those who have the blessed hope of the
return of Jesus. Titus 2:12 says that the Grace
of God – Jesus, is teaching us that we should deny ungodliness and worldly
lust. Beloved, we are in an age where ungodliness and worldly lusts are
becoming the norm; an age where people perpetuate evil without qualms and where
mild terms are coined for sin e.g. having an affair when talking of adultery.
In spite of this, the Grace of God teaches us that we should live soberly,
righteously and godly. To be sober is to be responsible and serious. It means
to comport oneself with dignity. To live righteously and godly is to live
according to the word of God and to live by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Besides, Titus 2:14 says we are to be zealous of good works – works of kindness, evangelism, visitation, follow-up, encouraging those needing comfort, interceding for others etc. We are not just to do these works, but we are to do them with zeal. Now the question is: are you giving attention to the teaching of the Grace of God? May the blessed hope be for you a blessed hope indeed when the Lord appears in Jesus’ Name.
