Worth the Wait

so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. Hebrews 9:28 NIV

Have you ever gone to the movies and then stayed until the end credits were done rolling? Sometimes filmmakers put little gems at the very end that give hints about the movie or another project that ties to it. It's usually worth waiting for. Next time you go, stay for the end credits. Then look around the theatre. There likely will be very few people who waited around. But you get to walk away with a little something extra.

I had a doctor who for the longest time was so busy I sometimes waited 3 to 4 hours past my appointment time. I knew this and planned for it. Oh it was worth it! He was the absolute best and I miss him since he retired.

These are two human examples where the result was worth the wait. How much better will it be if we are patient and wait on God to return for us? So don't give up. Don't get weary. Wait! He promises a great reward.
