He’s Coming Again!

Jesus Christ is coming again. Be ready.

Christians find great comfort in the promise that Jesus Christ is coming again. His return is either stated or implied more than three hundred times in the New Testament. For almost two thousand years gospel preachers have been proclaiming the coming of Jesus.

From the beginning, it was understood that this message would not be well received by all. Peter warned of scoffers who would ask, “Where is the promise of his coming, for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation?” (2 Peter 3:4).

The apostle answered their question saying, “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). God hasn’t forgotten His promise. Jesus is coming again. But, each day His return is delayed additional souls will have opportunity to prepare for His arrival (2 Peter 3:15).

When will He come? In spite of the many predictions which have been, and continue to be, made, no one knows the answer to that question. His coming is to be like the “thief in the night” (2 Peter 3:10). Thieves do not make appointments. At least the ones who broke into our home several years ago didn’t let us know when they were coming. He’s coming! That’s certain! When? God only knows!

Am I ready? That is the crucial question we must each answer for ourselves. According to the Scriptures, when He comes the world will be destroyed (2 Peter 3:10-12). Opportunity will be lost forever at that time. If we are not ready then, we never will be. For those who are prepared, God has something better planned (2 Peter 3:12).

He is coming again. Are you ready? Have you accepted His salvation?
