I've been loving all the great movies coming out in recent years and the trend of filming the sequels at the same time. They did that with the Lord of the Rings, some of the Star Wars movies, and most recently, Infinity Wars. Everything is planned out, studied, and calculated for maximum effect and profitability.
We all look with eager anticipation for the sequel to come out, usually a year later. We normally know the day and the hour when it will be released as the time draws near. Die hard fans stand in line for hours and even camp out overnight for the premier. It's truly an exciting time and one that followers of that genre pour themselves into with wholehearted devotion.
The Greatest Sequel is yet to come though. We don't know the day or the hour when it will happen. We can't even predict the year. Yet it will be the single greatest event to come in the history of mankind. Are you looking forward to it? Are you preparing for it? Will you be ready?
I'm talking, of course, about the second coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It will happen in the twinkling of an eye. That's pretty fast! I don't know about you, but I'm excited about it!
[NOTE: If you aren't ready, please seek out a pastor, a Christian friend, or me and talk about it.]
1 Corinthians 15:52 (NLT) - "It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed."
