Thoughts after reading:
I used to be like the brother in the short sketch. I thought that the Lord will return coming with clouds. I also held the belief that believing in the Lord should base on the Bible. When I heard that the new work of the Lord was different from my imagination, I repeatedly refused to listen to the Lord's gospel of the last days. If the brothers and sisters who preached the gospel didn't shoulder the burden of God’s commission and tirelessly fellowship with me and the brother in the short sketch, neither the brother nor I would greet the Lord's return. Lord Jesus said, “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come." I understand the key to welcome the second coming of the Lord is to listen to God's voice through reading the scripture. Thanks be to God.
The skit The Lord Is Knocking explains how, in the last days, the Lord knocks at the door of our hearts with His words, and that wise virgins can hear God's voice and feast with the Lamb.
Pastor Chang Shoudao has always awaited the Lord's return, but when Brother Zhen testifies to him that the Lord has already returned, he stubbornly sticks to his own notions and imaginings, believing that the Lord will return on a cloud, and keeping the door of his heart closed to the true way. This time, however, Brother Zhen discusses passages of the Scripture relating to the Lord's return with him, and he discovers that the Bible contains prophecies that in the last days the Lord will return in secret, in incarnate flesh, to speak new words and purify man, and only afterward will appear publicly to reward good and punish evil. At the same time, he comes to understand the true meaning of the Lord knocking at our doors, and that the key to welcoming the Lord's return is being able to hear God's voice. When he finally hears the voice of God in Almighty God's word, he finally opens the door to his heart and welcomes the Lord's return.
