Acts 1:9
Will Jesus Come Back?
Acts 1:10
He will come back, but his second Advent will be much different than the first Advent
1 thessalonians
His first Advent was condescending; it was in weakness; it was in humility.
Oh, not the second Advent - not His second coming!
Jesus will return with Power and with glory!
Jesus Will Return with Power, Victory, and Glory
Jesus will not come to sit in a manger; He will come to sitting on a throne.
Jesus will not come to sit in a manger; He will come to sitting on a throne.
He will not come to submit himself to be beaten and killed but to assert Himself to gather and to judge.
1 Thessalonians 4:
Dont miss this:
Jesus’ return will be so glorious, so wonderful, so powerful, it will literally cause the dead to rise.
Jesus will return with a shout, putting all the powers and governments of the world under Him.
With one blast of a trumpet every skeptic, atheist, and nay sayer will swallow their tongue and realize that Jesus Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords.
With one blast of a trumpet every skeptic, atheist, and nay sayer will swallow their tongue and realize that Jesus Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords.
Jesus’ return will be one final declaration of victory over Satan
Jesus’ return will be one final declaration of victory over Satan
Let me explain what I mean.
Imagine just for a moment that you don’t know anything about the Bible
Satan sought to destroy the relationship between God and man in
Did he succeed?
Satan sought to corrupt mankind to the point of extinction.
Did he succeed?
is a story about how mankind became so evil that God had to wipe them out.
Satan sought to kill God, Himself.
Did he succeed?
On the cross of Calvary, God died.
And by all estimations it seemed as though the devil had won.
But Satan must have shrieked when Jesus awoke in His tomb.
And Satan will scream screams of horror again when he hears that trumpet blast.
On that day he will find a strange inability to resist bowing to Christ as king.
phil 2:10
Whether the devil and all his followers like it or not, they will join every living human being in bowing to the king and confessing him as Lord.
On that day, Satan will be done.
But that also begs us to ask the question of why Jesus has not come back yet.
Why Hasn’t Jesus Returned Yet?
This is a fair question
If God is real and Jesus is who He says He is, where is He at and why hasn’t He came back?
The disciples and every generation of Christians after them expected Him to return in their lifetime.
So where is He?
Scoffers tell us that we are fools for waiting on God.
They say we miss out on the pleasures of life because we are conforming our lives to a fake God that will never show.
This is the essence of YOLO
Just listen to Fall Out Boy’s lyrics:
“Say prayer, but let the good times roll; in case God doesn’t show.”
Our culture constantly demands for us to reduce God down to our understanding of time
But boy do we make an eternally deadly mistake if we forsake God because He doesn’t show up when we think He should.
The Apostle Peter dealt with the same issue in his time:
God is not bound by the confines of the time He created.
He is outside of time and to Him, His delay in coming is not delayed at all.
And in fact, God’s “delay” is actually a tremendous act of grace.
Look at verse 9 again:
2 Peter 3:9
Christ’s delay in His return is gracious because there is literally over 2 billion people on this planet that do not even know His name - let alone have heard His Gospel - and are on their way to hell right now.
God is waiting for His gospel to be proclaimed in all the world before He returns.
Matthew 24:14
This must provoke us to action.
We have to live earnestly and as if Jesus is coming back tonight
Over and over again Jesus says He is coming soon.
Revelation 22:
Do you realize that this is one of the major themes of the book of Revelation?
When we think about that, why does it not put everything is perspective?
Jesus is Coming!
The King, the Lord, our Master, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, our Father, our Savior, the Messiah is coming!
Compared to that, who cares about the arguments about the book of Revelation
The King is coming!
Which ushers in this question: Are you eagerly awaiting His return?
Are You Eagerly Awaiting Jesus’ Return?
So often, we are a people who talk about how great it will be when Jesus comes back, but we live as though it doesn’t matter and like we don’t care when He comes back.
Have you ever found yourself doing something that you wished would never end?
The Bible depicts heaven as a place of supreme
2 Peter
Do you realize what will happen when Jesus comes back?
The day of the devil will be done and there will be no more evil.
You may cry tears up until that day, but you want cry any tears one day more.
There will be no more little boys and little girls trapped in sex slavery - forced to let men do to their bodies whatever they desire.
No one will starve to death ever again.
Sickness will be done.
Pedophilia will be gone and not a single piece of child porn will exist ever again.
Murder and rape will be over.
There will not be one orphan left on this planet
Those of us who have been redeemed by Christ will join a heavenly choir that has people from every nation in it and we will sing praises to the King.
We will sit down at the marriage supper of the Lamb and we will feast with the King.
We will watch the final defeat of Satan
We will see heaven and earth pass away and the arrival of a new heaven and a new earth.
We will move into the room in God’s house that He has made just for us
Revelation 21:
And so, we must join the saints of the centuries in saying, “Jesus come!
Lord Jesus, come quickly!”
Conclusion:
Will you
You have a choice to make this season:
This season, will you live like a citizen of earth who enjoys what the earth has to offer and find heaven foreign?
Or will you be a citizen of heaven that finds this world and all that it has to offer foreign.
