“A clock ticks for all of us, silently, somewhere. And one is ticking even for Him. Soon Father Time will be free.
To return to Earth.
And finish what he started.“ – The Time Keeper, Mitch Albom
All of us have a clock in us. An invisible clock that times our every movement here on earth. Whether we like it or not, it ticks away. The clock simply tells us our time on Earth, and how long till our Savior returns. We have a responsibility, a mandate, a call to fulfill before that clock stops.
In Acts 1v7, Jesus gave His disciples an instruction before He ascended back to Heaven. And that instruction was to be witnesses for His name (Christ) both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remote parts of the earth. But before they do that, Jesus assure them that The Holy Spirit is all they need to fulfill that.
In Acts 1v11, God sent two angels to speak to His disciples after Jesus’s ascension. The Bible tells us that His disciples were starring into the sky. I believe God wanted to remind His disciples of the mission, mandate, and call, which He just gave them before He ascended. As I was reading it, I could picture myself in the story with God basically saying, “Why are you starring in the sky, don’t you have work to do?”
The truth is, we all have work to do. No, I am not referring to jobs or studies, but a mission that God has given to us individually. We are called to be witnesses. We are called to spread and share the love of Christ to everyone.
The Father has his own clock as well. His clock tells Him of His return. Whether we like it or not, he is returning. He will establish a new heaven and a new earth. But until then, we have got work to do.
