The return of the risen, majestic, so very highly exalted Jesus Christ

Today there's a buzz in St Austell. The reason? Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is in town, and I have to admit, I was amongst the crowds of people waiting by the side of the road hoping to catch her glimpse of her. Call me sad, but I was there, more to the point, I was proud to be there lol.

Everywhere you looked you could see both St George's and the United Kingdom flag being waved high. I would like at this point to say that as far as I could see, I was the ONLY person to be waving the precious and somewhat holy flag of St Piran. (Forgive me if i'm being sacrilage)

Sure enough.. after nearly an hour of waving my flag, possibly the most famous and powerful person in the world was driven past, just after she had arrived on her royal train, the local band playing.. and i waved to her.. and she waved to me. and for a moment i thought that she may beckon me to her royal carriage and that she would.. touch me... and say:

"and who is this most handsome person? One gets bored of the London folk. Come live with me in my palace..."

Ok Ok, I'm being slightly satirical (and please note I AM) lol, but i guess you're wondering why Im writing this.. the truth is, It made me think....

If all this rumpus is being caused just because the queen of the country is in town, what will it be like when the King of Kings, Jesus Christ is in town?

Everyone was really excited when she arrived on her royal train (which may I add wasnt very luxiurous.. and was at least 20 carriages long.. made you wonder if she wanted a stretch.. or was it that she would walk her dog on the journy down.. back and forth on the train.. or pehaps Prince Philip was having a nice round of golf on the train?) Mmm.. makes you wonder....but anyway! back to my point! - If all this excitement is from this little old lady in her train.. can you possibly imagine the awe, the excitement when Jesus Christ comes down to earth riding on a cloud?! The mind can't really take it in.. talk about returning in style!

Or perhaps try to think about this. the local town band playing to the queen.. im sure she was delighted.. yet get this.. when the trumpets sound when the King of King's arrives, people will actually RISE FROM THEIR GRAVES.

Wow...

The crowds of people were nice to see for queen Lizzie, but I cant wait for the King of King's return, because every knee, from all nations WILL bow their knee. Both believers and non believers.. when the lion roars, your knee'll hit the floor.

Every tongue will confess that Christ is King.

Today's trip really made me think about the awesomeness of my God. (Im not being satirical here) The day will come when I will be beckoined closer to my King, he will take my hand and say.. come live in my palace..

With Jesus, there are no tears, no more suffering, no more hunger or thirst. In Jesus there is eternal life...

So if all this buzz is when an earthly queen is in town..

My God, I look forward to your return.

Hope everyone has a great day, and may you grow closer to the God who created you, provides for you, and loves you always
