In the Blink of an Eye
from Council Fire
“Be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh.” Matthew 24:44 (KJV) Back a while ago, we were having a conversation with one of our young grandsons about Jesus Christ coming back for us. He was sitting in a big chair, looking up into the sky for a while, when all of a sudden he said, “Jesus is coming, Jesus is coming!” We said, “Where?” He pointed out the window and, at that moment, a big jet was flying over. As it passed by, he said, “Jesus left us behind.” After it had passed and disappeared, we said, “Jesus is not coming by plane, train, or car. But he will come in the blink of an eye. So, he blinked and said, “Boy, He is taking a long time.” He had thought that Jesus was coming that day, and he wanted to be ready. Later, we noticed that he was actually watching by the window with his coat on, waiting for the return of his Lord and Savior. We told him again, “When Jesus comes, just blink and you will be in Heaven that fast.” So, he blinked again, then said, “But I’m not in heaven.” We do not know the time or day when He will return. But we can be vigilant and wait on the Lord’s return. We can have faith like my little grandson, watching, expecting and knowing that He is coming. Lord, we do not know the time or day when You will return. We don’t want to be caught unaware and unprepared. Help us to remain vigilant and wait on Your return. – Liz Genaille Council Fire is a collaboration with Intertribal Life Ministries and Native Evangelical Fellowship of Canada.
