I Thess. 5:1-11
Do you ever think about the end of the world? I can tell you the writers of Scripture did. The Day of the Lord is a dominant theme running through the Bible. The second coming of Christ is mentioned hundreds of times in the New Testament, with far more prophecies of His return than His first coming. Nearly every book of the NT deals with the subject. A Christ-centered consummation to human history is coming. It behooves us to know about it and be prepared for it. I Thess. 5:1-11
I realize that’s an ominous headline that sounds like a video game or summer movie. And that’s part of this world’s problem. Any talk of a future judgment is scoffed at, ridiculed, mocked and maligned. Saddest of all is this even comes from professing Christians at times. Studies in First Thessalonians
Imagine being born again and then taught that Jesus is coming back. So far, so good. He talked a lot about His return before He left. But then along the way, you come under the impression that you must actually be alive at His return or you will miss out. |
