I am coming soon.
Jesus promised this, and He is King. Two thousand earth years to Jesus is a blink. He is coming soon.
In an effort to understand my daughters’ generation better, to relate to the hows and whys of their choices I spent time watching three “K-dramas.” I knew these were popular with my girls over the past few years. I understood that Korean drama was relatively innocent, high school stuff, far more wholesome than American culture television and media.
I didn’t bother to watch for myself.
But now I did. I watched the most popular ones (I think) and saw that they are indeed fairly innocent, that the heroes and heroines are morally good and the plot lines involved fashion and food. It is easy to get sucked into the beauty and the sweet.
The last one I watched (with Cherie) was one called “The King, Eternal Monarch.” Very lush, and an intriguing plot.
As I watched it I thought about the supernatural themes that reflected the promises of our Real Eternal King Jesus.
Not just sci-fi, rom-com, —-the truth is that Jesus IS coming, and He IS King.
Happy endings are for us, the believers.
This hope can give us the strength to “wait a little longer,” as the fictitious king in the K-drama implored his lady. I saw the imagery.
My King is coming. He promised.
My Jewish Carpenter King is coming.
Just wait a little longer.
Are you ready? Are you watching?
Wait.
Maranatha.
