Timing

"Until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ whom he will unveil at the right time," 1 Timothy 6:14.

Who's doing the unveiling? The Blessed and only Sovereign. That's Who. The King of kings. The Lord of lords. The only One owning immortality. The One who gives life. The One who dwells in unapproachable light. The One no one has ever seen. The One whom no one has the capacity to see. That's who. God. What's He unveiling? The appearing of Jesus. And what's there to do until that moment? Keep the commandment. What commandment? Fight the good fight of the faith. What fight's that? Making and living out the confession. What confession? The good one: God made the dead Jesus alive and made him both Lord and Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

And so we wait for that unveiling with a brother or sister today as we hear Jesus' call for perseverance. And, together, we rejoice in the blessed assurance of God's right timing.
