The second coming is mysterious, and there are differing interpretations about end times and the return of Christ. But in teaching about Christ’s return, the Apostles’ Creed simply states, “He will come to judge the living and the dead.” Someday Jesus will return from heaven. He didn’t say when this will be, but he did say that he will return “with great power and glory” for all to see.
The scripture suggests Jesus’ coming again will be a day of great joy for all his followers, who have been redeemed through his sacrifice on the cross. For them, the whole curse of death and hell has been removed. Hallelujah! But Jesus’ return will also be a day of great trembling because, as the Bible warns, he will judge once and for all – all the people who have rejected him.
Today, though believers in Christ may not agree on all the details of his return, we certainly can agree on how we should live for him in these last days. Jesus calls us to follow him faithfully, dying daily to ourselves so that we can walk in step with his Spirit, using our gifts for God’s glory and bearing fruit in his name. This involves showing God’s love to everyone and sharing his desire for everyone to believe in him.
“At that time people will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.” (Mark 13:26).
Let’s Pray
Yahweh, we long for your return, when all will be made new. While we wait, help us to serve and love others for your sake in this world. Father, please help those of us who are rejecting you so that we will have a change of heart before it is too late. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
