God’s Coming Kingdom Lesson 11

Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He assured His followers, I will come back! He wants us to be with Him, and He promised to return and take all who trust in Him to the special place He has prepared for us.

The Second Coming of Jesus is a Bible fact. Scripture speaks of His return approximately 2,500 times. Interestingly, you will find more references to Jesus’ Second Advent than to His first. The fact that Jesus is coming to the world a second time is as certain as the reality that He lived on this earth two thousand years ago. That’s why the apostle Paul could confidently proclaim that because Christ gave Himself for us on the cross, we can experience a blessed hope – the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ (Titus 2:13).

Long ago, God promised that a Messiah would come, a Deliverer who would take our iniquities on Himself, and provide pardon for human sin. That promise seemed too good to be true for many in the ancient world. But Jesus did come and die on the cross. The promise came true more gloriously than the Hebrews imagined possible.

His promise to return to earth will come true also. We can rely on the One who loves us to return and gather up those for whom He has paid an infinite price.
