He Is Coming Again

Before going back to heaven, our Lord comforted his followers, "In my Father's house are many rooms... and when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also" (John 14:2,3). The Lord Jesus, who is in heaven now, will come back again. Whereas he came once as a humble servant to die for our sins, he will come again as King and Judge.

With justice he will exercise the final judgment. He will judge everyone according to what they have done, both good and evil. Even the dead will rise to stand before the throne to hear their sentence. Our Lord will banish the unbelieving and disobedient away from his presence into eternal fire and darkness, but will welcome the believers into his eternal kingdom. The physical universe will be consumed by fire. Then God will establish a new creation, a new heaven and new earth, for the saved ones (see 2 Peter 3:7-13).

Friends, God is the reason to live. Our goal in life is to live according to his will so that we may one day reunite with our heavenly Father. With this joyful hope, we eagerly wait for his coming, and we look forward to the heavenly kingdom, where we will be with our Lord forever.

Believe and trust in the Lord Jesus as your Lord and Savior*. He will save you; he will give you joy and peace in life; and he will receive you into his kingdom when you complete life's journey.
