Gospel Reflections #788: When we see Jesus face to face

Zechariah 14:9 "The Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day the Lord will be the only one, and his name the only one."

God remains faithful in fulfilling His promise to establish His kingdom of grace.

Our God is not a God of the virtual world; He is the God who brings His world to fruition upon this earth.

Of course, this will not be fully realised until Christ returns to this world, but God has given us His promise.

And we, believing in that promise and looking forward to it, live joyfully, confident in God's promise, through fulfilling our roles in this world, loving others, sharing love, and sharing God's work.

We tend to look forward to the Second Coming because we want to escape this world's suffering and hardship. But rather than focusing on our own pain, I want us to look forward to meeting the God who faithfully fulfills His promise to us to the very end, and to living with that God.

This is neither the world after death nor a virtual world.

It is the real world we can see with our eyes, hear with our ears, and touch with our hands.

Soon, Jesus will come to welcome us
