The Promise of His Return
Today's topic is The Promise of His Return.
The Protestant Reformers and the pilgrims who left from Holland for the New World longed for the coming of Jesus. For them the second coming of Christ was a joyous event that they eagerly anticipated. John Wycliffe looked forward to the coming of Christ as the hope of the church.
Calvin spoke for all the Reformers when he talked of the glorious return of Christ as “of all events most auspicious.” For faithful men and women of God, the second coming of Christ was something to be embraced!
And over the centuries, promises like those described in John 14:1-3, where Jesus vehemently declares, I will come again or in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, and Titus 2:11-14, where Paul speaks of our blessed Hope! These and other promises of the second coming have filled the lives of Christ's followers with hope and certainty.
See what encouraging words are on page 302 of the book The Great Controversy: “The coming of the Lord has been in all ages the hope of His true followers. The Saviour’s parting promise upon Olivet that He would come again, lighted up the future for His disciples, filling their hearts with joy and hope that sorrow could not quench nor trials dim. Amid suffering and persecution, the ‘appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ’ was the ‘blessed hope.’ according to Titus 2:13.
When the Thessalonian Christians were filled with grief as they buried their loved ones, who had hoped to live to witness the coming of the Lord, Paul, their teacher, pointed them to the resurrection, to take place at the Saviour’s advent. Then the dead in Christ should rise, and together with the living be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.
