Come, Lord Jesus!\u201d (Rev 22:20, NLT).At the same time, the apostle Paul writes to the Corinthians, \u201cWe plead on Christ\u2019s behalf, \u2018Be reconciled to God\u2019\u201d (2 Cor 5:19-20, CSB). That\u2019s the Great Commission tension the title of this blog post points toward. We cry out to the Lord, \u201cCome, Lord Jesus\u201d even as we plead with others, \u201cBe reconciled to God!\u201d We do want Jesus to come back, but we want our loved ones and friends to turn to Christ before He does; that is, we want non-believers to respond to \u201cBe reconciled to God\u201d before Jesus responds to, \u201cCome, Lord Jesus!\u201dThus, the words, \u201cBe reconciled to God\u201d drip with urgency."}
