Why is looking for Jesus important for Christians?

For Christians, the act of looking for Jesus signifies an active faith that seeks fellowship and guidance from the Savior. Hebrews 11 notes that the patriarchs lived by faith, seeing the promises of God from afar and desiring a better country (Hebrews 11:13-16). Today, we are called to not only acknowledge Christ's first coming but to actively seek His presence in our lives. This longing prepares us to eagerly await His second coming, offering hope and assurance that we belong to Him. The Lord's assurance that 'I will come again and receive you unto myself' serves as a reminder of the hope we hold. Our waiting signifies a deeper faith in His promises.
