I am coming soon

Revelation 22:10-

Are you the kind of person who reads the last chapter of the book before you decide if it is a book worth reading?  I’ve never wanted to know the ending before beginning the book, for me it would take away the mystery, the drama, but the last chapter of Revelations, might be an exception.  Jan and I enjoy having house guest, but we prefer to know when they are coming so we can be prepared for their arrival and so that we can have the house clean and the menu planned.  Being prepared for your guest is of the utmost importance at our house, so that we can max out the time with our guest.  The next to the last verse in chapter 22 is from Jesus and this is what He is saying; “Surely I am coming soon.”

Jesus is the most important guest that has ever shown up at our house and the question is, have we prepared for His arrival, is the house (my life) free of lust, pride, greed, and the many other things that seem to find there way into my home.  Is Jesus going to enjoy the food that is being prepared, such as the fruits of the spirit; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.  He is coming soon!
