He came the first time, and because he came the first time, we can be sure he’s going to come back again.
He came the first time in fulfillment of God’s Word, and it will be to fulfill God’s Word that he comes again.
He came the first time in obscurity. When he comes again, the whole world will know about it.
He came the first time to save sinners. He comes the next time to take his friends to be with him to Heaven forever.
He came the first time as a baby in vulnerability. He comes he next time as King in victory.
He came the first time when no one wanted him. He comes the next time to the cries of his people all over the world “Come, Please Come Soon.”
He came the first time when no one expected him.
When he comes the next time, will you be ready?
Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all peoples on earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen.
— Revelation 1:7
