Jesus said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

Matthew 26:64 (ESV)

They struck him after he said that.  They spat on him.  They hated him.  They accused him.  

They crucified him after he said that.  

What the high priest Caiaphas did not know was that the man of glory did not lie.  Truly he is seated at the right hand of Power and truly he is coming again on the clouds of heaven.  

And we rejoice that he says this.  

We wonder at him.  We glory in him.  We long for him.  We take hope in that he says this.

For the reality of his coming is as comforting a truth that you can find.  One day he will come and make all things new.  Every sickness healed, every sorrow salved, every corruption made pure.  

While we toil against the evil in this age, both within and without, we thank the one who sits in power and has promised to come again.

He is coming again.  We know it and are glad.
