Text
More than three hundred times—an average of one verse in every twenty-six—the New Testament refers to the truth of the second coming of Jesus Christ.
Scriptures place great emphasis on this strategic teaching.
Why is the Second Coming of Christ important?
Key to History.
World events will not continue in an endless, unyielding procession.
But the Bible teaches a linear view of history.
There was a beginning, a central event—the cross2 (and the resurrection)—and there will be a final consummation, in which God will bring His plan to its glorious fulfillment.
All things are pointing to His coming.
Jesus Christ is the focal point of all history.
Apart from Him there is no meaning to our existence
Hope of the Church.
Our hope as the Church is for the appearance of the Bridegroom.
Motivation for holy living.
The awareness that our Lord may come without warning stirs believers from their lethargy, to rekindle the fire of first love.
Watchfulness is the proper attitude of believers; we are to be keen, alert, looking continually for the coming of Christ
Encourages Christian Service.
Believers who ardently look for the return of Christ will constantly be reevaluating the priorities that govern their manner of living.
They will put in highest place a vital relationship to the Lord,
They will be witnesses, warning their unsaved neighbors and colleagues to flee from the wrath to come.
How is Jesus going to come again?
He will return personally.
He will return unexpectedly.
He will return in glory.
He will return in physical mode.
This real, physical, literal return of the Lord Jesus Christ to this earth precludes any spiritualized interpretation.
For example, conceiving of His coming as occurring somehow in the Spirit on the Day of Pentecost or at the time of one’s conversion or possibly, as some teach, at one’s death.
Why is Jesus coming again?
He is coming to receive is own unto Himself.
We are to receive a new body, and as a complete person, be united forever with the Lord
Those dead already at the time of His coming shall be raised, and those still alive at that time shall be changed, both becoming glorified beings in an instant.
He is coming again to judge and to reward.
Christ will come to judge believers, apportioning rewards commensurate with deeds done in this life, especially with regard to motives
Why is this important for us?
Be alert!
Be sober!
Be at work!
