Look forward to 2012 "Be very careful, then, how you live.

Look forward to 2012 "Be very careful, then, how you live not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is." (Ephesians 5:15-17) And yes, Jesus might just show up in 2012 - but I wouldn’t bank the farm on it. When Jesus said: “No one knows about that day or hour not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Mark 13:32) You can take His word for it. And when the end of the world comes - and Jesus returns - it won’t do anybody any good to buy a fallout shelter. But because you are Christian - Jesus’ return will be an exciting time. It’s going to be something to look forward to with anticipation. In 2 Timothy 4:7-8 God’s Word declares: “There is in store for you the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to you on that day— and not only to you, but also to all WHO HAVE LONGED FOR his appearing.”

Philippians 3:20 says “your citizenship is in heaven. And EAGERLY AWAIT the Savior from there”

You’re going to live in a new home. Jesus said He was going away to prepare a place for you (John 14:2).

Revelation 21:4 tells us that when Jesus returns: “He will wipe every tear from your eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things will pass away.” Heaven will be a place of “no mores” No more Curse No more Death No more Sorrow No more Crying No more Pain No more Night No more Hunger or Thirst.

When Jesus comes again, He’ll be coming to take away all of the things that made your life uncomfortable. He’ll take away the struggles that made you miserable. The sick will be healed. The struggling will be strengthened. The dead will rise from the grave – and we’ll live with Jesus forever.

"Today your heart will beat 103,369 times, your blood will have traveled 168 million miles, you will breath 23,400 times, you will inhale 438 cubic feet of air, you will eat 3 pounds of food, drink 2.9 pounds of liquid,  perspired 1.43 pints, you will give off 85.3 degrees of heat,  generated 450 tons of energy, you will speak 4,800 words, moved 750 major muscles, your nails grew .01714 inches, and you exercised 7 million brain cells. Your body is a marvel of God’s creation the body is so intricate that it’s a wonder that more doesn’t go wrong with it. You’ve got a great body… as bodies go. But one day, you’re going to get the chance to trade your body in for a new one.

So, when Jesus comes, you’re going to have a new body And you’re gonna live on a new earth. And you’re going to have everything you could possibly want or need. But all that will pale next to the one thing that matters most about Jesus’ return: He’s coming back for you!
