The Ultimate Gathering
Imagine a scene where every person who has ever lived is present in one place. The rich and the poor, the famous and the unknown, kings and commoners, geniuses and those struggling with mental health – all will be there. On that day, no one will be distracted by their surroundings or the people around them. Every eye will be fixed on one person: the Son of Man.
A Radiant Presence
The Bible describes this moment in Matthew 25:31, where Jesus returns in His great glory. His presence will be breathtaking, radiating light and power. It’s hard to fathom, but on that day, we won’t be interested in anyone else. We won’t be checking out what others are wearing or whispering about who’s present. Our attention will be captivated by the Son of Man, wrapped in splendor and majesty.
A Solemn Reminder
This future gathering serves as a solemn reminder to us today. As Matthew 24:42 warns, “Always be ready, because you don’t know the day your Lord will come.” We must live with the awareness that our lives will one day be evaluated in His presence. It’s a sobering thought, but one that can also bring hope and purpose to our daily lives.
Eyes Fixed on Eternity
As we go about our daily routines, let’s keep our eyes fixed on eternity. Let’s live with the knowledge that our ultimate audience is not our peers or even ourselves, but the Son of Man. May this truth motivate us to live lives that honor Him, and may we be ready when He returns in glory.
