The Second Coming of Christ
"Looking for that Blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:13).
Jesus is coming again! He promises, "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also" (John 14:3). Paul explains the second coming of Christ as follows: "For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the cloud, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord" (1Thess. 4:16-17).
Paul then concludes, "Wherefore comfort one another with these words" (1Thess. 4:18). There is great comfort to be found in the knowledge of the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior. The truth of His promise to return keeps our hearts from being troubled and afraid (John 4:1).
Where is the promise of His coming? The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night... " (2Pet. 3:4, 8-10).
Jesus said, "Surely I come quickly" (Rev. 22:20). "Even so, come, Lord Jesus" (Rev. 22:20).
What a glorious day it will be when Jesus shall come again.I look forward to that blessed day when I will put on incorruption and immortality, because death has been swallowed up in victory. Praise the Lord!
Watch The Second Coming of Christ, By Pastor Mark Blitz - Prophecy in the News
God's word instructs us to “Meditate upon these things (Reading, Exhortation, & Doctrine); give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all” (1Tim. 4:15).
If we’ll faithfully commit ourselves to God’s Word in our lives, then the Word will propel our advancement. Everyone will see that we’re making tremendous progress in every area of our lives.
As you peruse this site It's my prayer that you'll experience what the Yielded Life is, that you'll be challenged, sold-out for Christ and by God's grace and direction, be a blessing to others.
Therefore, in all your ways acknowledge God and He will direct your path.
Prayer for Leaders In Authority "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people(Prov. 14:34). Therefore, let us pray "That we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” (1Tim.2:1-4)
A Prayer of Repentance Dear God of Glory, I come to you in repentance and ask that you forgive me of my sins. The Bible says, "he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved." Lord, I invite you to come into my life, save me and be my Lord and Savior. I willingly receive you into my life and now I'm yours and you're mine. Thank you Lord, I'm a believer and I'm saved, in Jesus name. Amen.
