WRITE YOUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS ON THESE QUESTIONS

One of the most challenging things we have to do as believers is wait.
In your opinion, what does it mean to live a full life? The promise of eternal life is a promise until Jesus returns. Followers
______________________________________________________________
of Jesus have been waiting for this promise for over 2000 years, but
______________________________________________________________
we hang on to that promise. We must always remember that Jesus
______________________________________________________________
WILL return and that it could happen at any minute.
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________ A lot of the time, we tend to forget that our lives on this earth

are temporary, that this realm is to hold us until the Lord Jesus re-

turns. We have to be ready for his imminent return at all times, yet we
have to plan like He is not going to return anytime soon. Not even Je-

sus knows the time of His return, Only God the Father knows.
How you know that you are living a full life?
______________________________________________________________
So we have to wait with expectation. For generations, followers
______________________________________________________________
of Jesus have been waiting for His return. Early on, they would stop at
______________________________________________________________ crossroads and check if He was coming. They would leave each other
______________________________________________________________ signs to tell other Christians who may pass by that He had not re-
______________________________________________________________ turned het and encouragement to keep looking for him. They lived life
on earth knowing that at any moment the promise would be fulfilled.

So, part of being alive is living with the expectation that Jesus

ing you from sin, but wants you to live a full life? will return soon. To do everything with the mindset that at any mo-
______________________________________________________________ ment he will return.
