The Second Coming of Jesus

By the title of my post you might think that I am going to write something theological and deep but no....read on!
I went to Hampden tonight for youth groups - Junior and Senior. They are to be commended for continuing to invest in their young people! A small community with very little for young people to do - no mall, no movie theatre, no sports facility, etc. There is a youth group every week between TSA and the Pentecost.
For the Junior group, I did the Easter story as a devotional. I had four eggs; one had a cross in it, another 3 nails, another a stone and the last one nothing. The kids were very attentive and answered my questions throughout the story. Following the devotion, one child said that God has promised us that there would never be a flood again. There were some blank looks from some children so I had to tell the Noah's Ark story in a nutshell. After that, another little boy piped up and said in his best Newfie accent - "my Pop told me 'dat one day Jesus is coming back to pick us up!" And He is! I thought it was the cutest thing I have ever heard! I can't get that thought out of my mind! Whether or not that's what his pop actually said or that was his paraphrase I don't know!
My encouragement to you is: Get ready to be picked up!!
