Christ’s Return?

Today, I’m working on the recording of Charles Haddon Spurgeon’s sermon, ‘Christ’s People – Imitators of Him,’ and he addresses those ‘professors’ of Christianity… those who hurt most the church as a result of not living as Christ lived and loving one another as we were commanded. In his sermon, he asks, “Is the name of the dear Redeemer precious to you? Would you see the kingdoms of the world become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ?” I quoted the two lines, but allow me to emphasize the second: “Would you see the kingdoms of the world become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ.”

So many people talk about Christ’s return. Yes, and I wondered about how I’d answer. As Spurgeon commonly repeats in his sermons… “and echo, asks and asks again,’ so I ask myself. “Would you see the kingdoms of the world become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ?” My answer? Yes. But I add to that, Father forgive me for my past indifference… may the world see in me this day just a glimpse of Christ’s eternal Kingdom and reign in me.
