THEY SHALL SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING
Christendom at large and the unbelieving world ridicule the doctrine of the Second Coming. Rebellious and ungodly men resent the prospect of coming judgment, just as criminals hate the judge. Let us suppose for a moment that Christ will not return, and that all the 1,800 Bible references to that climactic event were pure fiction. What future has our world if left solely to the charge of violent men? Would you rather men take charge? Or God?
On sober reflection, the future for man without God is bleak. Since the day Adam sinned, hatred and murder have flowed through man’s bloodstream. War has become part of human nature. For this malady, man has no cure. God the Creator must intervene: Jesus must return, according to God the Father’s everlasting plan of salvation. Man left to himself is headed for destruction. He will NEVER learn peace. “History teaches us that history teaches us nothing!”
God the Creator will not leave His creation to be destroyed by man. What He has ordained and planned to do from before the foundation of the world, will be done even as our Lord prayed, “Thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven.” His plan is no secret, although from unbelieving eyes it remains hidden. To certain of His chosen servants, the Lord has revealed it. Daniel was most favoured. God showed it to him.
Today, we are favoured too, for God shows it to us. He speaks to us through none other than His own Son (Heb 1:1-2). This is the greatest kindness, that the Lord has not left us in the dark. His coming is REAL, LITERAL, PERSONAL, SUPERNATURAL. He will come “…in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory” (Matt 24:30). These are Jesus’ own words. Do you doubt? Why do you doubt? Take the Lord at His Word. Believe and live with the hope of His Return.
THOUGHT: Every eye shall see Him.
PRAYER: Father, I believe. Help my unbelief.
