Yesterday, i was at the church and Renee stopped over, we started talking with a lady at our church ad the topic of our upcoming wedding came up. The lady said, "well, we may be in the last days, the Lord may return" I jokingly said, "hopefully not before the wedding" She then proceded to lecture us both about how wanting to be married instead of Jesus to come back and all believers should be more excited for his return than earthly affairs.

Yeah, worst "Jesus Juke" of all time.

I've never heard the term "Jesus Juke" but I'm sort of getting what it means.

I get annoyed with Christians who are thinking far too much of the end of the world and Christ's return. They always think it's right around the corner and they can hardly contain their excitement.

I tend to look at it more neutrally. I believe it's going to happen and that I'm prepared for it, but I'm neither excited nor afraid of it. There is far too much work living the gospel in the world today to be concerned about when exactly Christ will be returning.

And there is no reason to make any plans based on a return that we do not know when it will happen. Plan your life to live for God now, and if Jesus returns in the meantime. . . it doesn't matter anyway and you will be ready.

Maybe by her age she's a lot closer to going to heaven than you are; it's where her mind is.

AND, if push came to shove if you could have a wedding day OR have a day that Christ returned wouldn't you pick the latter??
