JESUS COMING WILL BE GLORIOUS

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL
... CONTINUE FROM YESTERDAY

TOPIC: JESUS COMING WILL BE GLORIOUS

Acts 1v 9.

Acts 1 tells us that Jesus was caught up in a cloud and taken to heaven. The cloud that carried Jesus into heaven was no ordinary cloud but was in fact the same cloud that led Israel in the wilderness. It is the cloud that represents the glory of God. Luke 21:27 tells us that Jesus will return in a cloud with power and great glory.

There are differences surrounding Jesus first coming to his second coming.

The first time Jesus came unnoticed into the world, the second time every eye will see him (Revelation 1:7).

In his first coming Jesus humbled himself, being born in a stable in Bethlehem. When he returns, he will come back as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

The first time he came he was judged and sentence by the people according to their wrong standard, but when he comes, he will judge every person according to Gods standard.

Illustration
Christian writer and commentator Warren Wiersbe, tells about a town where a horse bolted and ran away with a wagon carrying a little boy. Seeing the child in danger, a young man risked his life to catch the horse and stop the wagon. The child who was saved grew up to become a lawless man, and one day he stood before a judge to be sentenced for a serious crime. The prisoner recognized the judge as the man who, years before had saved his life; so he pled for mercy on the basis of that experience. But the words from the bench silenced his plea: "Young man, then I was your savior; today I am your judge, and I must sentence you to be hanged."

One day Jesus Christ will say to rebellious sinners, "During that long day of grace, I was the Savior, and I would have forgiven you. But today I am your Judge."

When Jesus first came into the earth the religious leaders shouted in scorn Him saying, he saved others, but he can't save himself! (Matthew 27:42). The day is coming when the whole world will see Jesus as he really is. When that happens, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:9-11).

Jesus will one day return in power and great glory. Are you prepared to reign with Jesus?

LET US PRAY
FATHER FORGIVE MY SINS AND CLOTH ME WITH GARMENT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TO BE COUNTED WORTHY IN YOUR KINGDOM. AMEN
