Three things that was necessary for the Messiah to accomplish

V 28

Hebrews 9:28 CJB

so also the Messiah, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to deliver those who are eagerly waiting for him.

Albert Barnes writes that…It is one of the characteristics of Christians that they look for the return of their Lord, They fully believe that he will come. They earnestly desire that he will come,. They are waiting for his appearing, . He left the world and ascended to heaven, but he will again return to the earth, and his people are looking for that time as the period when they shall be raised up from their graves; when they shall be publicly acknowledged to be his, and when they shall be admitted to heaven.
