Some people think that they have see Christ today – mirror, out side airplane ect

Acts 1:1-6

2Ti 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

Joh 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

This is what Jesus did at his first appearing, and he is coming back.

 

John 14:1-4

 

Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

 

1Jo 2:28 ¶ And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

 

To not be ashamed we must keep his commandments.

 

Tit 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

 

Rom. 12:1-2

1Ti 6:14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

If we keep his commandments then we are the son’s of God and one day we will be like him.

 

1Jo 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

 

We must keep ourselves pure though there will be trials and test hard times and temptations but we must endure.

 

1Pe 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

 9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

 

We keep our love for him though we cannot see him nor can we touch him.  But we know his love, his will and know that he will appear again to give us a crown.

 

1Pe 5:4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

 

He will bring judgement to the whole world when he appears again

 

2 Thes. 1:6-10

 

2Ti 4:1 ¶ I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

 

2Ti 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

 

Would you be happy for the Lord to return now today!!

 

1Co 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

 24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

 

Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

 

1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

 

Mat. 4:36-39

 

Re 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

 

2Co 5:9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

 

1 Peter 3:9-15

 

Jer 8:20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
