"I haven't gotten a job...yet."
"There's no change in his medical condition...yet."
"He's not married...yet."
"Her business hasn't boomed...yet."
"He hasn't come to Christ...yet."
There's room, time and promise for the 'yet' to happen.
Here's another great one,
"Jesus hasn't given the shout out with the trumpet blast to call us up to be with Him in Heaven forever...yet."
That's the best 'yet' of all.
We all look forward to good happenings. We who are followers of Jesus Christ can be thankful to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who tells us He's "coming soon" (Revelation 22:17).
Every Lord's Day we can remember the promise of His soon return as we gather to remember Jesus in His death and resurrection. It is because of His work He accomplished on the cross--the atonement for our souls--that we can have the hope of rapture to go up to be forever with Him.
As believers in this sure hope, pass the emblems of the bread and cup of wine, one to another. Recall the agonies Jesus went through on our behalf: His broken body and spear-pierced side; and His blood which makes remission for our sin.
Remember this selfless gift of salvation and the ongoing, never-ending 'forever' we have to look forward to, for all eternity to come, with Him.
He hasn't come...yet.
Nevertheless, encourage each other cuz there's a lot of unshakable hope in 'yet'.
