Waiting for Jesus

For nearly 2,000 years now, devout Christians from all walks of life have been eagerly and anxiously awaiting the predicted second and glorious advent of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Although this final event in world history is looked upon by believers as a means to their salvation, the Day of the Lord will also be terrible and dreadful for unrepentant sinners. Even faithful Christians view this day with fear. So what can we all do now in order to acquire the Lord's mercy on that great and terrible day when the Lord returns to judge the world in righteousness?
