I've been doing supplemental reading for one of my classes. We could choose what area of doctrine to do it on, so, since I don't know much about Eschatology, I decided to go with that subject. Wow, it has been amazing! I'm going through the book Maranatha: Our Lord Comes! by Raynold Showers. There is a whole chapter on the immanency of Christ's return and I have been more and more convicted of the reality of it. If I really believe that His return could be at any moment, my life will reflect that! At the end of the chapter is a quote, and I would like to share with you:
"Christians are to live 'like men who are awaiting their Master...; and their conduct and character are determined by that expectation.' " ~ F. W. Beare in A Commentary on the Epistle to the Philippians.
