What Are We Waiting For?

Ok, it's been a loooooong time since my last post. Maybe I'll post more frequently. Maybe. :-) But I couldn't resist the following...

"...so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him" (Hebrews 9:28).

It is assumed (and rightfully, obviously so) that those who will be saved are characterized by an eager waiting. If we really believe all that God has said and we have staked our lives on it, then OF COURSE waiting eagerly for His return will automatically be a fitting description of our attitude. Right? What does it mean if secretly, deep down someone would rather Jesus not return so that he/she could experience something in this life here on earth? Important question to ponder.
