"The coming of the Lord draweth nigh." James 5:8.
Every writer of the New Testament speaks of the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, James, Peter and Jude, all proclaim this glorious event.
The Lord is coming for His own first, and then the Lord is coming with them.
"When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory." Colossians 3:4.
Who is this coming One?
"The Lord Himself." 1 Thessalonians 4:16. "This same Jesus." Acts 1:11. "If I go... I will come again." John 14:3.
When is He coming?
"Behold, I come quickly." "Surely I come quickly." Revelation 22:7, 20. "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye." 1 Corinthians 15:52.
Why is He coming?
To receive His own to Himself, that where He is, there they may be also (John 14). To catch up His loved ones, "they that are Christ's," that they may "ever be with the Lord." 1 Corinthians 15:23 and 1 Thessalonians 4:17.
This, not death, is the Christian's blessed hope. How about you, who have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior? Will you be left behind? He may come today! Are you ready?
"And that, knowing the time, that NOW it is high time to awake out of sleep: for NOW is our salvation nearer than when we believed." Romans 13:11.
