How
To Shake Off Worries And Find A Happy Life
Hanxiao
There
is no denying that we all want to live a happy life,
having a warm and harmonious family, an ideal job, a good prospect,
sensible children and so on. However, in the process of seeking
happiness, we are besieged by all sorts of worries. Some people worry
about whether their jobs will be threatened in face of fierce social
competition. Some worry about their success in competition with their
colleagues. Some
rack their brains trying to make big money to remain
invincible in the business. Some
seek every means to attend training classes given by famous teachers
to improve themselves constantly, so that they will become the strong
of life or social elites. And some worry about when they can pay off
their car loan or housing loan and therefore rush and busy about for
it. More people can hardly breathe due to hard work or heavy
business, and pressures of life have greyed their hair. Others worry
about their marriage and family in face of the temptations from the
evil trends of the world. Still others worry about how to educate
their children and make them stand out among others in the
increasingly fierce social competition. … With so many worries in
our life, isn’t the happy life we yearn for far from the reality?
How Should We Welcome the Return of the Lord Jesus?
Nowadays,
all the believers in the Lord are expecting the Lord Jesus’
second coming to bring man into the
kingdom of heaven.
Especially when people reading the scripture Acts 1:11, “Which
also said, You men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven?
this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so
come in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven.”,
they think that the Lord left on a white cloud, so he will surely
return on a white cloud. Thus most people just wait for the return of
the Lord
Jesus passively.
But over more than two thousand years have passed, man still hasn’t
seen the Savior coming with clouds. In recent years, whenever I see
the disaster is greater and greater and the church becomes more and
more desolate, I couldn’t help looking up to heaven and crying out
to the Lord, “O Lord! Nowadays various signs of the last days have
already been fulfilled, but why have we still not seen your return?”
With the passage of time, I began to doubt: Is it truly after God’s
heart that we wait for God’s coming so passively? Then how shall we
welcome the return of the Lord?
Take
a Firm Stance in Welcoming the Second Coming of Jesus Christ

In
our daily life, we often see that when faced with something, the
ambivalent people are obsessed with right and wrong and torn between
two possibilities without taking a firm stance, and afterward, they
will be very bothered and regret what they have done. Today, in the
important matter of welcoming the second coming of Jesus
Christ,
many believers also hesitate at the crossroads, following the herd
without taking a firm stance. If this goes on, what then will be the
consequences? Let’s read a story:
Do You Know the Deeper Meanings of the Lord Jesus’ Resurrection?
Miaoxiao
In Scripture it is written about the Lord Jesus’ resurrection: “In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said to the women, Fear not you: for I know that you seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.
