“Eager for Jesus”

There shall we laud You and adore Forever and forevermore.

Forever and forevermore. Isaiah 64:1-9

Intro: After 2020, are you eager for Jesus to return?

I. Isaiah’s two-sided desire for God to come A. His disgust with God’s enemies

1. Make it scary2. Remove the doubt of the skeptics 3. Demand respect

B. The needs of God’s people1. You are a kind being2. You find offense in our sins as well 3. We have lost our passion for you 4. We are eager for salvation

II. God arrives and the people react A. Jesus’firstcoming

1. Reflects God’s true nature2. Some receive Him3. The path of salvation is made clear 4. Hallelujah and “We have no king…”

B. Jesus’ second coming (Mark 13:24f) 1. The Heaven’s rent

2. Terror and joy?3. Who is your king?

The Kingdom of God is not just something that arrives visibly with Jesus, it is how God can reign in our lives right now. How do you show that Jesus is your king?
