July 9, 2023 – The Certainty of Jesus’ Return
Sermon: 1990 – The Beginning of the End
Pray Over This
“And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.’”
Ponder This
If I did not know the Bible, if I did not know Bible prophecy, if I did not understand who Jesus is and what God has planned, I would be a world-class pessimist. This world is like a Shakespearean tragedy. When you read a Shakespearean tragedy, you know it’s coming to an untimely end, and nothing can stop it. The same is true for this world apart from Jesus. Without the Lord Jesus Christ, I would be an industrial-strength pessimist, but I’m a glowing optimist. We need not be disturbed! We must not be deceived, because, friend, we will not be disappointed. You can be sure that Jesus Christ, who came the first time, is coming again. “This same Jesus,” that angel said, “who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”
- How does remembering Jesus’ promised return give you hope even in the most difficult times?
- Who do you know that needs to hear of this hope today?
