‘I Will Come Again’

‘I Will Come Again’

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

John 14:3

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.

Revelation 19:11

The Return of Christ is inevitable. John paints the picture for us of the powerful, glorious, return of Christ as simple, sober, pre-written history. This is not a matter of question. We ought not think that John is alone in his assertion that Jesus is coming again. On the night before Christ went to the cross, He declared in no uncertain terms, ‘I will come again.’ Christ was, by no means, the first to make this assertion. Jude, quoting ‘Enoch, the seventh from Adam’ as having ‘prophesied…saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten, thousands of His saints….”’ If we subscribe to the Bible in any real way whatsoever, we accept the inevitability that Jesus is coming again. The recurring theme of I Thessalonians is that Christ will return. From the ancient prophets to the New Testament Apostles, all agree, and we with them, that Christ will inevitably return. The logical follow-on of this Return is that He will do judgment and justice. He will ‘avenge His elect.’ He will ‘separate the sheep from the goats.’ He will accomplish His Grand and Glorious Purpose to set the crooked straight and to make up that which is lacking. Today, let us look forward to this Grand, Glorious, Inevitable Return. ‘Every eye shall see Him.’  He has never failed to fulfill all that He has promised, nor shall He fail in this.

Our most Glorious, Coming, Lord,
we rejoice that You, without fail, will return.
We long for that day when You will meet
every Divinely appointed expectation.
