WEEK 6 - REAWAKENING TO THE RETURN OF CHRIST
We look to the future with the certain hope of Christ’s return. He’s coming again! We will see Him and be with Him to experience His glory in a way we never have before. All of the things that are wrong with this world will be righted and Jesus will reign forever!
DAY THIRTY NINE - CHRIST IS COMING AS THE JUST AND TRUE JUDGE - David Gomez
Revelation 19:2A
2 for his judgments are true and just;
Injustice is simply the absence of justice, the absence of doing what is good and right to one another. Though things like race, religion, age, gender, and economic status often play a role in our acts of injustice, they don’t always. Take, for example, one of history’s first acts of injustice. When Cain killed Abel out of an evil desire for prominence (to be more important) and preeminence (to be superior), none of these things seemed to be a factor. The truth is that sin has made us all practitioners of injustice (see Romans 3:10–18).
Injustice is painful. We long for sin’s corruption to end in us (see Romans 8:22–23) and, with it, all the injustice we suffer. This day is coming! Our King is coming, and final justice is coming with Him (see Revelation 19:2a). One day, there will be no more oppression, no more inequality, no more wrong—sin will be no more, and Jesus will reign (see Revelation 21). Yet while we wait and hope for that day with joyful expectation, He has called and empowered us today to do justice, love with kindness, and live humbly before God (see Micah 6:8).
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Pray for strength to take action and make Jesus known by defending and protecting the vulnerable in your community.
2. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you show kindness and mercy to all, even those who have been unjust.
3. Pray that God will guard your heart from anger and that you will live humbly, trusting that vengeance is God’s alone..
