We eagerly wait

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself. – Philippians 3.20-21

Our citizenship is indeed in heaven. And as citizens of heaven we are anxiously waiting for the return of our true King and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

At the moment the world seems very unsubdueable. It doesn't seem like anything or any one could possibly bring this mess under control.

But we wait - we wait eagerly because one day our King is going to return and His kingdom will be real and visible. Our weak little fleshly bodies will be changed and conformed to Him. This robe of flesh we'll drop and rise to seize the everlasting prize. Our day is coming - we just have to wait.

And look at what happens when King Jesus does come. He is able to subdue all things to Himself.

Folks, we just need to hold on. One day all this wickedness and distress and pain and sorrow will be over. Jesus will bring all things under His control.

What a day that will be.
