What would you do if the second coming of Christ happened today? If you heard that Jesus was back and on his throne in Jerusalem, would you clear your calendar and make preparations to see him, talk to him, and be in his presence? When you got there and saw him, would you recognize him, even if he came in humble form, with humble attire with humble surroundings? Would you fall to your knees before him in worship? Would you join with the heavenly host of angels and archangels surrounding him, proclaiming "Holy Holy Holy is the Lord of Hosts"? If He offered you his body and blood in communion, would you first repent of your sins and beg him for healing? After visiting with Jesus, worshiping Him, and feasting with Him, would you rush out to go back home, or would you linger a while? If he asked you to go and tell others that He had returned, that he was really here, would you do it?
Friends, Jesus is back. He is here on earth, physically. I went to visit Him, worship Him, and feast with Him yesterday. Just like 2000 years ago, most people don't recognize Him, even when they see him. They expect Him to come with military might and overthrow governments. Most people that see him treat Him casually when they see him, and only go through the motions of worshiping Him. Most visit out of a sense of obligation rather than joy, awe, or love. Most who do visit Him leave in a rush so they can see the ball game on the networks. Many heartfelt Christians refuse to believe that He has come back, so never even go to visit Him.
The Kingdom of God is at hand and Jesus has returned, just like the Book of Revelation describes, in the Mass. Come and worship our King!
