TOPIC: Are You Expecting Him? (Rhapsody of Realities 9 September 2022)
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation (Hebrews 9:28).
Rhapsody Of Realities For Today MESSAGE:
The Bible lets us know that the end of all things is near; the coming of the Lord is so close: âBut the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayerâ (1 Peter 4:7). The question is, are you watching for His return? Are you expecting Him?
Thereâre Christians who arenât taking this seriously; therefore, theyâre casual with their relationship with God and complacent about their Christianity. Theyâre like the 5 foolish virgins the Bible talks about (Matthew 25) who werenât expecting the return of their master and were unprepared when he eventually came.

Donât be among those who say, âThis talk of Jesus coming soon has been on for ages, when is it ever going to happen?â Such folks will be caught unawares when it eventually happens because they werenât expecting Him. The Bible says only those who are expecting Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation. The events and happenings around the world today are clear indications that His appearing is imminent.
Donât be caught âsleeping.â When the Apostle Paul in 1 Thessalonians 5:6 admonished us not to sleep, he wasnât talking about physical sleep. He was talking about spiritual sleep, when youâre so deep into worldly things that you become unaware and oblivious of the spiritual realities around you. Jesus told us to watch and pray, ââŠfor in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man comethâ (Matthew 24:44).

Matthew 24:14 (KJV)
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Romans 13:11-14 (KJV)
11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Mark 13:32-36 (KJV)
32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 34 For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
