I Come Quickly

Behold, I come quickly…” -Revelation 3:11

Many skeptics will accuse Jesus of failing to keep His promise contained in this verse. But we need to understand that the word “quickly” is translated from tachu which means “with haste, suddenly, by surprise.” Jesus was not referring to the chronology of His coming in history but rather to the manner of His coming when the time does arrive. His coming will be swift, sudden, and instantaneous. When He appears, there will be no further time to consider Him, to argue about Him, or to decide for Him.

Peter answered the skeptics of His coming by asserting that He “is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9) If you question Jesus’ promise, then it is for you that He tarries! If you have yet to prepare, if you tarry in getting ready, why should you question His gracious willingness to wait on you? Today is the day to prepare for His coming.
