If Jesus is coming soon and maybe within our life time if not in this decade 2010, what is our responsibility and what should we do as being a part of this process or event? How do we prepare for Jesus to come back to earth? Isaiah and Jesus say that we need to prepare the way for the coming of the lord (Isaiah 40:3; Mal. 3:1; Matt. 3:3).
“Clear the way for the Lord in the wilderness; make smooth in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Let every valley be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; and let the rough ground become a plain, and the rugged terrain a broad valley; 5 Then the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all flesh will see it together” Isaiah 40:3-5.
So what does that mean to us and how do we do that today? We see that John the Baptist was the one that Isaiah and Jesus were talking about. So what did John do to prepare the way for Jesus to come? It seems that this passage from Isaiah was not meant to be used as a literal leveling of the ground and widening road ways, a physical preparing. What did John do to prepare the way for Jesus to come? We find the answer in Matthew 3:1&2, where it tells us that the way to prepare for the coming of the lord was to “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” So as we see the idea or call is to share with others that we and they need to turn toward God and Jesus because the kingdom of heaven is coming to earth. In Matthew 6:10 Jesus says “Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.”
So if Jesus and the kingdom of heaven are coming one we need to know that and two we will know it by the signs, three if Jesus is coming we need to share this truth with others so that they can also turn to God before it is too late and there is no more second chances. Not only that, but we need to share with them what a joy it is to know God and Jesus the creator in a real and personal way. When we become a part of God’s family, children to the creator of all that is we are given the keys to the universe. All things are possible (Philippians 4:13) when we know God personally and that through His Son Jesus and Him paying the price for our sins when He physically died for us when He was here on earth. Now He is in heaven with more power than He ever had when He was here on earth. He is now only second to God Himself in heaven. Let us help others to know the new covenant, plan or relationship that God has in store for us here on earth. Help them to be prepared for when the creator of the universe comes to save us and to live with us forever, with God’s new covenant.
Daniel gives us some good advice about the coming of the lord that we should be aware of. Daniel 12:3 says “Those who are wise[a] will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. And Daniel 12:10-12 says to us “Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand... Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end.”
If Jesus is coming and may be sooner then we think, how do we prepare the way of the coming of our Lord?
