2 Timothy 4:1 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge:
Jesus went up into Heaven and sat down at the right hand of God the Father. And one day, those that have believed on Jesus shall go to be with him forever. We will be in the presence of God. What a joyous and wonderful time!
But what about now?... Jesus is back with the Father but we are left here. :( That sounds sad... but it is not! For,even now, we are in the presence of God. When Jesus left, he went back to heaven and sent the Holy Spirit to be with us. We are now in the presence of Jesus here on earth. We can be assured that he is here, for he promised to send the Spirit. He is here. When we do wrong , he is here to convict us, so we know the difference between sin and righteousness and choose not to fall into judgement. We can trust him to guide us into truth.
K and A, be assured that Jesus knows all. You are in his presence, right here, right now. When you do good, he knows and is pleased. When you do wrong, he knows and will convict you of your sin. You may think he leaves it slide, but do not think for a moment that he did see or that he doesn't care. He does. Do what is right and just. Care about other's needs. Reach out to help them both physically and spiritually. Jesus knows what how you love and serve others and will reward you for it, both here and in eternity.
