Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day.

We are taking a short break from Ecclesiastes to celebrate Easter with some unique devotionals to prepare our hearts for this week in history.

Our text today is Revelation 22:12

Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. — Revelation 22:12

Easter Was Just the Beginning

The resurrection wasn’t the end of the story—it was the beginning of the greatest promise yet to be fulfilled.

Jesus came once as a suffering servant, but He will return as a conquering King. The empty tomb wasn’t just proof of His victory over death—it was a guarantee that He is coming again to set all things right.

The world is broken. Sin still corrupts. Injustice still thrives. But this is not how the story ends.

Just as surely as Jesus walked out of the grave, He will return in glory.

Living in Expectation

Jesus doesn’t tell us exactly when He will return, but He does tell us how to live while we wait.

• “Stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming” (Matthew 24:42).
• “Be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect” (Matthew 24:44).
• “Blessed is the servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes” (Matthew 24:46).

His return isn’t just a distant hope—it’s a daily call to action. We are not meant to sit idly by, waiting. We are called to live faithfully, serve boldly, and proclaim the gospel until He comes.

Am I Living for His Return?

If we truly believe Jesus is coming back, it should change how we live right now.

• Are we watching for Him, or are we distracted by the world?
• Are we living for eternity, or are we chasing temporary things?
• Are we sharing the gospel, knowing time is short?

Many people spend their lives preparing for retirement but spend little time preparing for eternity. Which one matters more?

The return of Christ isn’t something to fear—it’s our greatest hope. The King is coming, and He will make all things new (Revelation 21:5).

#JesusIsComing, #EasterHope, #LiveForEternity

ASK THIS:

1. How does Jesus’ return shape the way you live today?
2. What distractions keep you from living in expectation of His coming?
3. In what ways are you actively preparing for eternity?
4. Who needs to hear the gospel from you before time runs out?

DO THIS:

Live each day with expectation and urgency, knowing Jesus could return at any moment.

PRAY THIS:

Lord, help me to live with my eyes fixed on eternity, never distracted by the temporary things of this world. May I stay faithful, bold, and ready for Your return. Amen.

PLAY THIS:

He Who Is To Come.
