In my lifetime alone, we have survived at least a dozen of these “end of the world” events. I am referring to things like “Y2K,” the Mayan Calendar with 2012, and a number of predictions by pastors saying they have finally cracked the Bible’s “code” for figuring out the exact date of the end of time. Yet the result is always the same: nothing happens, the world keeps on turning and we are all fine. 

Christianity is a religion of anticipation, of hope. We as Christians are waiting for something more that is to come. What is it that we are waiting for? Contrary to popular belief, what we are waiting for is not just to die and go to heaven. What we are awaiting is our Lord’s return!
