“So Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.”
Christ dealt with sin the first time He came, and will deliver the saved from the distress of those days when He returns.
But Jesus will not be saving everyone — only those who are eagerly waiting for Him will be saved.
When you “eagerly wait” for someone, it means you are expecting Him to come. You’ve put your full trust in Him knowing He does what He says, and so you stand at the door and look out for His arrival.
Eagerly waiting for Jesus doesn’t mean being passive. Rather, you get ready what you can for His arrival — whether that’s your house, cell group, church conference or country.
The Lord is returning. Let us eagerly anticipate Him and earnestly work to accomplish what He has told us to so that we may be found faithful!
