Will Jesus return in your own lifetime?

Will you be here alive to see him come?

Maybe. Maybe not.

Let me suggest another way to look at it:

If you take the scientist's estimation of the age of the universe, it's something like 1,000,000,000,000 years old, or something like that. (Note to scientists: don't bother. I specifically said "something like." :-)

I don't know the real answer. My rule? It's LOTS of zeros.


1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Now consider this. Who knows how long He's gonna wait. Maybe His plan is to let the entire universe burn out and harvest it then? Maybe the number is something like another 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 YEARS!

Seems like a long time, eh? But consider this:

No matter when He comes, the longest amount of time YOU are gonna have to wait to see Him accounts for only ONE of those zeros - two, if you are lucky.

1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

       The World            You

Either way, you're gonna find out a lot sooner than you might think.

I wouldn't let it slip too long...
