Believing In Advance
August 18, 2014
Read: Revelation 22:12-21
In a German prison camp in World War II, undiscovered by the guards, some Americans built a homemade radio. One day news came that the German high command had surrendered, ending the war. Because of a communications breakdown, however, the guards did not yet know this. As word spread among the prisoners, a loud celebration broke out. For 3 days, they sang, waved at guards, and shared jokes over meals. On the fourth day, they awoke to find that all the Germans had fled. Their waiting had come to an end.
A number of Bible stories center on waiting: Abraham waiting for a child (Gen. 1221). The Israelites waiting for deliverance from Egypt. Prophets waiting for the fulfillment of their own predictions. The disciples waiting for Jesus to act like the powerful Messiah they anticipated. Jesus final words at the end of Revelation are I am coming quickly, followed by an urgent, echoing prayer, Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! (22:20). For this, we still wait.
Heres the question I ask myself: As we wait, why are we so often fearful and anxious? We can, like the Allied prisoners, act on the good news we say we believe. What is faith in God, after all, but believing in advance what will only make sense in reverse?
Faith looks beyond the shadow
Of dread and doubt and fear
And finds the Savior waiting
And always standing near. French
Waiting tries our faith and so we wait in hope.
After writing of the events that will precede Jesus second coming (Rev. 422), John assured his readers of the certainty and nearness of Jesus return by quoting Him two times: I am coming quickly (vv.12,20). John then adds a personal plea, Even so, come, Lord Jesus! (v.20).

On Monday, when the sun is hot, I wonder to myself a lot.
Now is it true, or is it not, that what is which and which is what?

Happy Monday, FRiends.
