"So Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation" ~Heb 9:28~
The verse just before this says: "And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgement"..."So Christ was offered..." I woke up with that song on my mind this morning, "Don't wait up for me". When that time comes, whether by death or Christ's second appearing, don't wait up for me, don't mourn for me. He has already saved me from my sins, now I'm waiting eagerly for His salvation from the cares of this life and all the hardships we have to face here...Is 25:8 "He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces..." Hallelujah!
