Looking back or looking forward?

Jesus is coming soon. It is a fact because Jesus said so. That is all I need to know. So am I looking back like Lot’s wife did or am I looking forward in anticipation of Christ’s return?

Luke 17:28-33
28 “It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything. 32 Remember Lot’s wife! 33 Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.

When we become followers of Jesus the old life needs to be left behind. No looking back it is gone and we have a new life in Christ. We look forward every day for His return and look for opportunities to love others by meeting needs and sharing the love of Jesus by telling them the good news of Jesus providing salvation to all who will believe!!! 

So this day where are you looking....any where else than Jesus is the wrong place!
