September 28, 2025 - For the Church at the St. John Church of Christ
A common thing to do in life is to ponder when you might do something during your life. For example, you might ponder when you are going to be able to drive (when you turn 16), when you will go on a first date, when you will have to get your first job, when you have to move out of your home, when you will get married, and so many more. We tend to spend our lives living for those next milestone moments that are on the horizon, but in the future – things we look forward to (or don’t), but they are still a ways off.
I think Christian’s take this same approach to living like Jesus wants us to live. We think, I will serve God more when my work life slows down, or I will help others more when my kids are out of the home. We seem to be always looking forward, but we often fail to live in the moment.
I am convinced that the early Christians lived their lives as if Jesus was coming back tomorrow. I think they believed that he would be back soon (tomorrow, next week, next month) and so they lived their lives with boldness to preach the word – no matter what the consequences may have been because they knew, with every fiber of their being, that Jesus was coming to take them home.
Stephen, the first martyr in the book of Acts, was able to see into heaven and see Jesus standing on his behalf so he knew that he was going to live with him forever, so he acted boldly and was then stoned to death. What would happen if you lived your life every day as if Jesus was coming back tomorrow? Would it change how you live?
