One of the most vivid memories I will carry with me from my trip to the Holy Land was standing on the Mount of Olives and considering Christ’s path from where He splits the mountain and makes His victorious way across the Kidron Valley and through the Eastern Gate into Jerusalem.

What is to be our response? As the prophet declared, “Arise, shine, for thy Light is come.” The glory of the Lord is risen upon us. We will become the city Christ dwells in. We, the Church, are His intended destination.

PRAYER: Lord, we live in expectant anticipation of Your return to this earth. We hereby dedicate our lives and energies to serving You in whatever way we can. Give us a jobto do to bring about Your return.
