When one thinks about Post-Resurrection of Jesus, three questions that surface are
- What happened after the resurrection of Jesus?
- What will happen when the resurrected Jesus Christ returns? and
- What are we to do until the return of Jesus?
The events that occurred after the resurrection of Jesus are APPEARANCE (Acts 1:3; 1 Corinthians 15:3-6), ASCENSION (Acts 1:9) and ANNOUNCEMENT of his imminent return (2nd Coming) (Acts 1:10-11)
The events that are to happen until the return of Jesus Christ is for each one of us who know Him as Lord and Savior is to be faithful to the ASSIGNMENT (Matthew 28:18-20) given unto us.
The event that will occur when Jesus returns is ACCOUNTING, wherein each one of us will have to give an account unto God (Romans 14:12).
As we await his second coming, how are we doing on our assignment? When He returns will He find us faithful of the assignment given us? This is a question that none of us can take lightly … Let’s try to live in such a way that it can be said of us, that for us to live is Christ and to die is gain (Philippians 1:21); as those who fight the good fight and who have finished the race. This determines the answer to the question – How will our account stand up, a.k.a., when the account is tallied, how do you think you will fare?
Romans 14:11-12
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
