JESUS IS COMING AGAIN!
This entry was posted on 12-28-2007 and is filed under uncategorized.
When was the last time you heard anything in church about the second coming of Jesus Christ? Or when was the last time you entertained a serious thought about Christ's return? We have just spent the month of December learning more about Jesus' first coming so it is only fitting that we close out the month (and the year!) by thinking about Christ's second coming to earth.
Just about everything you need to know about the second coming of Christ is contained in one verse, Matthew 24:44 NKJV. "Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect." Three things jump out at me in this pertinent passage: (1) The Son of Man is coming. (2) We do not know the hour of His coming. (3) Therefore, it is imperative that we be ready to meet Him when He comes.
We also know that the days preceding His coming will parallel the days before the great flood of Noah's day. I will discuss seven "flood warnings" or spiritual signs that signal the return of Christ in my February Knowlesletter (subscribe, free, by writing

Hymn: Marvelous message we bring, Glorious carol we sing, Wonderful word of the King - Jesus is coming again! Coming again, coming again; May be morning, may be noon, may be evening and may be soon! Coming again, coming again; O what a wonderful day it will be - Jesus is coming again! (John W. Peterson)
