Imagine that you knew, you knew for an absolute fact

that Jesus was coming back before this day will come to an end.

That would be amazing, of course, and of course that would also be impossible, impossible to know.

We can't know the date or the time of Christ's return, but what if we did?

What if we knew he was coming back at 10 p.m sharp local time tonight?

How would that change your day?

Today on Ask Pastor John, if Jesus returns tonight.

We are about to read Luke 12, verses 35 to 48, and we just read 1 Thessalonians 5, so we are thinking a lot right now about Christ's return in our Bible readings.

The question today is from Claire, a young woman and listener to the podcast.

Pastor John, hello and thank you for APJ.

This podcast is a constant stream of encouragement for my soul and of correction too in the right balance.

Wonderful.

Thank you for both kinds of precious gift to me.

Jesus repeatedly calls his followers to live with watchful expectation for his return.

In Luke 12, verses 35 to 48, he says, Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning

and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home.

He praises the servant who is found ready, faithful, and active when the master arrives at night.

Obviously, we need physical rest every night, So it's not a literal staying always awake all night.

Metaphorically, though, how should I be living today as if I truly believe Christ could return tonight?

What does staying dressed with lamps lit look like today?

It's amazing to me.

Remarkable how thoroughly the New Testament answers this question.

I mean, just thinking about it was good for me.

So let me see

if I can pack into this little episode 10 transforming ways

to live as we eagerly look forward to the coming of Jesus.

So here's number one.

Let's start with that word eagerly.

Hebrews 9.28.

Christ will appear a second time to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

And 2 Timothy 4.8.

The Lord will award a crown of righteousness to all who have loved his appearing.

So as we wait, we cultivate a heart of love and eagerness for the Lord's appearing.

That's number one.

Second, be alert, but not alarmed.

Matthew 24, 42.

Stay awake.

Luke 12, 40. Be ready.

Luke 21, 40, 36. Be vigilant.

Mark 13, 23, be on guard.

Luke 21, 34, watch yourselves.

So all that's be alert.

The point of all those texts is not that we don't sleep physically, but that we don't sleep spiritually or morally.

We maintain a vital living relationship with Jesus and alertness to how we can serve him.

But alertness does not mean alarm, because Matthew 24, 6 says,

When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, see to it that you are not alarmed.

We're not to be nervous and fearful.

Third, be joyfully patient, no matter what sufferings are required of us in the last days.

James 5, 7.

Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord.

And Peter adds, do it with joy.

1 Peter 4, 12.

Do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal

that comes upon you to test you as though something strange were happening to you

but rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.

Rejoice in suffering now, so that you will know the fullness of joy at his coming.

Fourth, keep yourselves pure.

1 John 3, 2.

Beloved, we know that when he appears, We should be like him because we'll see him as he is.

Everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.

And 2 Peter 3.11, since all these things are thus to be dissolved,

what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness?

Fifth, be gentle and reasonable.

That may sound like an odd priority in anticipating the second coming, but listen to Philippians 4-5.

Let your gentleness, and I know the ESV translates it reasonableness, but I've studied that word in all of its contexts,

and I still can't help but think that the old translation gentleness is better.

I think it's okay to go both ways,

but I think gentleness, because it's parallel with not being pugilistic in some places, is better.

Let your gentleness be known to everyone.

The Lord is at hand.

How easy it is to become quick-tempered and harsh in times of crisis.

Oh, my goodness, we see that.

Don't let it happen.

Six.

Don't be deceived by powerful pretenders.

In other words, watch.

Don't give in to deception.

Matthew 24, 4.

See that no one leads you astray.

For many will come in my name saying, I am the Christ.

And they will lead many astray.

This is one of the reasons we need to be alert

and vigilant over our minds and hearts to protect us from deception, which will be so rampant in that last time.

Seventh, don't give in to hysteria.

Go to work.

You got a job, do it.

In Paul's day in Thessalonica, they were giving way to hysteria and quitting their jobs.

What's the point of working, they're saying.

The Lord is near.

Why work?

We don't need any money.

Paul tells them to stop being like that, stop being alarmed, go back to work.

Here's what he says.

We hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busy bodies.

2 Thessalonians 3.11.

This is basically what Jesus was getting at when he said in Luke 12.42, Who then is the faithful

and wise manager whom his master set over his household to give them their food at the proper time?

Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.

Love that.

100

When I was a preaching pastor, that was my rock solid assignment.

101

You've been set over a household.

102

You've got food to give them.

103

Give them that every Sunday, and you're going to be blessed if the Lord breaks in, splits the clouds, and finds you studying for your sermon.

104

I want to be found doing what God has given me to do when he comes.

105

That's what Jesus expects.

106

Eighth, go to church.

107

Hebrews 10, 24.

108

Have you ever noticed the connection between the second coming and going to church?

109

let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works not neglecting to meet together

110

as is the habit of some but encouraging one another

111

and all the more go to church all the more as

112

you see the day drawing near meet together more as you

113

see the Lord's coming approaching don't curl up in your chair at home go to church Ninth,

114

give yourselves to regular earnest prayer, even prayer for the second coming, fasting for the second coming.

115

Even Jesus said, you can't fast when the bridegroom is here, but the bridegroom is going to be taken away, and then you'll fast.

116

Why?

117

Because you want him back.

118

Luke 21, 36, stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things

119

that are going to take place and stand before the Son of Man.

120

1 Peter 4, 7, the end of all things is at hand.

121

Therefore, be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.

122

So pray to him day and night.

123

He will not delay long over you and will vindicate you in your prayers.

124

Finally, 10th, hasten the day of God by finishing the Great Commission.

125

2 Peter 3.12 says, We are waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God.

126

Now, how do you hasten a day that the Lord has fixed with his own authority?

127

And I think two passages point to the answer.

128

Acts chapter 1, verses 6 to 8.

129

where the disciples asked Jesus after the resurrection, is it now time for you to establish the kingdom?

130

And Jesus said, it is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority,

131

but you will receive power.

132

You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you

133

and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth.

134

In other words, if you want to see the kingdom arrive, finish the mission, which is what Matthew 24, 14 says.

135

This gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

136

So how do you hasten the day of the Lord?

137

We give ourselves to finishing the Great Commission.

138

So let me end where I began.

139

May the Lord give us eagerness and love for his second coming.

140

The Lord will give a crown of righteousness to all who have loved his appearing.

141

Yeah, amen.

142

There's this glorious task.

143

We don't quit our job just yet.

144

We don't stare off into the sky.

145

We don't give in to hysteria.

146

We don't give up to idleness.

147

We cultivate a heart of eager love for his appearing with busy hands working the tasks in front of us to do.

148

It's about everyday faithfulness right up until the clouds split apart.

149

Until then, let your gentleness be known to everyone.

150

The Lord is at hand.

151

That's an amazing text.

152

I'm going to be thinking about that today.

153

Let your gentleness be known to everyone.

154

The Lord is at hand.

155

Thank you, Pastor John.

156

and on all of this be sure to check out pastor

157

john's 2023 book come lord jesus meditations on the second coming of christ

158

if you want to meditate on all of this more come lord jesus meditations on the second coming of christ

159

but of course we don't know

160

when christ is coming back it could be in a century

161

or two centuries and that means we still have to wake up to alarms We still have to find jobs.

162

We still have to make money.

163

We still have to pay the bills.

164

And that means we will go on facing the temptations of money fears.

165

I'm Tony Reinke.

166

We do that next time, Surviving Financial Panics.

167

That's next up on Thursday.

168

Thanks for listening to the Ask Pastor John podcast.

169

We'll see you then.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
