Concerning Christ's Return

Matthew 24:48 KJV
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

An evil servant thinks the Lord delays coming

There are a myriad of attitudes a person might have regarding the Lord and His coming
• One might view His coming as myth
• One might spiritualize His coming as being real but not physical
• One might capitalize on His coming as a means to earn royalties and sales
The passage says this is a servant, though an evil one, so it is speaking about one who claims to be saved and claims to believe in His coming which suggests a final attitude which would be
• One who claims to believe in His coming but lives as if He won't come at all

Even if Christ doesn't come in my lifetime it makes little sense to live like He isn't going to come again because regardless of when His return is, we will all give account to Him.

I want my account to balance.
