LESSONS FROM FIRST AND SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
TEXT: ACTS 1:9-11
Key verse: “Behold I come quickly, and My reward is with me, to give every man
according to as his work shall be.” Revelation 22:12.
Jesus promised to return and take His people home in the Rapture. The signs of His return are revealed to us through various happenings and revelations. Heaven is fully prepared for this great spiritual event. Jesus is coming back to the world from heaven, the abode of the true God, the place of everlasting life. Jesus came to the earth physically in human form over two thousand (2000) years ago for the work of redemption of mankind and He is coming to the earth again to rapture the saints to heaven. At His first coming, Jesus came as:
· A Saviour to save us from sins.
· A Lamb of God to sacrifice Himself for our salvation.
· A Mediator to reconcile us to God.
· Our Righteousness to put us in right standing with God
· Our Deliverer to destroy the works of Satan in our lives and set us free.
· Our fullness to give us abundant life
· Our Restoration to restore man to the image of God.
After Jesus Christ accomplished His mission, He went back to heaven and gave us His word, grace, church and commission. We are preparing for His second coming as people preparing for a wedding. The preparation is both personal and congregational. Preparing for His coming requires the following:
· A ready spirit to go beyond the normal or average as seen in many Christians because the nearer His coming the fiercer the battle.
· Constant study of God's word to know the truth and overcome sin and Satan.
· Holy living through faith in Christ and constant prayer for God's grace.
· Evangelism and Soul-winning to bring sinners to Christ by making them turn away from sin and confess Jesus Christ and thereafter live a holy life.
