When is Christ Coming?
AH! WHEN? I can tell you this, my reader, that He may come even as you are reading these words, and either take you to heaven in a moment or leave you here awhile to face the awful judgments of the world and to spend eternity in hell. It is. His own promise that Pe will come again. In John 14:33And 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) He says, “I will come again and receive you unto Myself; that where I am there ye may be also.” The last promise in the Bible (Rev. 20:20 is connected with His second coming: “Surely I come quickly.” The last prayer in the Bible is connected with His second coming: “Even so, come, Lord Jesus” (Rev. 22:2020He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. (Revelation 22:20)). Do you pray that prayer? Do I?
A Christian was asked to have a conversation with a lady, who was anxious to hear about the second coming of Christ. He sat by her side and said to her, “Well, you want to hear about the Lord’s second coming. What do you know about His first coming? Did He suffer for your sins then? Are you ready to meet Him as you sit here?!” “I never thought of that,” she replied. “I am not ready to meet Him.” “Then if the Lord did not suffer for your sins at His first coming, His second coming would be the most terrible thing that could happen to you.” She sat and listened, as he told her of the Lord’s first coming to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. He showed her from Scripture that the believer’s sins were all atoned for by Christ when, He was nailed upon the cross and forsaken of God. When she saw what Christ had done for her she believed and was saved.
When the last soul is saved the Lord will come. As soon as ever the Bride of Christ is complete, the Bridegroom wilt come to fetch her home. And that may be now. The last cry of a sinner’s penitence may be heard this moment. Shall it he yours, my unsaved friend?
