1John 2:28
And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.
I know that in the first decades after Christ’s death, his followers expected him to appear any day. Today I think of His second coming as something way out in the future, that I will likely not see in this life. But at some point, sooner or later, I will face God, and I do not want to feel ashamed. This scripture assures us that if we “continue in him” we need not feel ashamed. I will ask forgiveness today for all of my transgressions, those I am aware of, and those I have forgotten or never realized. I am trying to live as a follower of Christ, but I do make so many mistakes and omissions. Lord, guide me, teach me, and forgive me, I pray. Amen
