The Second Coming

of Jesus And The

Glory Of The Saints 24

[Acts 1 :11] 

 

/ Ephphatha Discipleship

Training (Basic Course)

 

 

 

/ By Pastor Priscilla

 

 

 

Today's Main Scripture

 

 

"Men of Galilee," they said,

"why do you stand here

looking into the sky?

 

 

This same Jesus,

who has been taken

from you into heaven,

 

 

will come back in the

same way you have

seen him go into

heaven."

(Acts 1:11)

 

 

Now, as the last chapter

of the basic course,

we will examine the

second coming of Jesus

 

 

and the glory of the saints

that will be gained at

that time in two units.

 

1. God's Covenants 

 

1) Christianity is a

religion of covenant.

 

 

If so, who did He make

a covenant with?

 

 

- God's chosen one.

(Psal 89:3)

 

 

2) Please read the

following scriptures

and write down the

characteristics of

 God's covenants.

 

 

(1) It is impossible

for God to lie.

He is unchangeable.

(Heb 6:18) 

 

 

(2) The word of our God

stands forever.

 

 

And it is God who

fulfills those words.

(Isa 40:8)

 

 

(3) It is God who fulfills

what He said.

(Psa 33:9)

 

 

2. The First Coming

and Second Coming

of Jesus

 

 

The Scriptures record

the great work that

God fulfilled through

His Son Jesus, the work

of salvation for mankind.

 

 

In order to fulfill the work

of salvation for mankind,

the second coming of

Jesus is promised.

 

 

(1) God's first covenant

(Gen  3:15)

(2) The First Coming

(John 3:16)

(3) The Second Coming

(Rev 22:20)

 

 

As such, the work

of salvation in Christianity

is fulfilled with the second

coming of Jesus.

 

 

Then read the following

scripture and write down

 

 

what the difference

is between the first

coming and the

second coming.

 

 

"So Christ was sacrificed

once to take away the 

sins of many people;

and he will appear

a second time,

 

not to bear sin,

but to bring salvation

to those who are

waiting for him."

(Heb  9:28)

 

 

1) The Lord after the

Resurrection and

Ascension

 

 

The Lord

came to this earth,

died on the cross

for the salvation,

 

 

and was raised from

the dead on the third day

according to His promise.

 

 

After that, He remained

in the world for another

40 days. (Confer:

1 Corin 15:3-4,  Acts 1)

 

 

And Jesus was taken up

into heaven and he sat

 at the right hand of God.

 

 

(1) What is he doing now?

 

 

-Christ Jesus, is at

the right hand of God

and is also interceding

for us. (Rom 8:34)

 

 

And surely He is

with us always, to

the very end of the

age. (Matt 28:20) 

 

 

(2) What was the last

covenant he made to us

 before his ascension?

 

 

He said that

after preparing

a place for us God's

children in heaven,

 

 

he will come again

and take us to the

place where Jesus is.

(John 14:2-3)

 

 

(3) He said that he

would come soon.

(Rev 22:20)

 

 

2) What is the result

of Jesus' second coming?

 

 

(1) The wicked will be

judged and punished,

 

 

and the righteous will

be rewarded according

to what they do.

(2 Thessa 1:7-9)

 

 

(2) Take your inheritance,

the kingdom prepared

for you. (Matt 25:34) 

 

 

-Each one of us is given

a reward according to

what we do.

(Rev 22:20)

  

 

The greatest blessing

that God has promised

to us

 

 

who believe in

Jesus is that we will

 enter the kingdom

of heaven.

 

 

This covenant will be

fulfilled on the day

of the Lord's Second

Coming.

 

 

On the day the Lord

comes, the world wil

l be judged, but all

saved saints will enter

his kingdom

 

 

and inherit it and

attain great glory.

 

 

Christianity is the faith

to believe in the Lord

and live in victory

through His power.

 

 

And it is also a religion

of blessing in which

future glory is

promised.

 

 

We are living in a time

when there are many

such signs of His coming 

back to the world according

to the Scriptures.

 

 

At this point, we

should know that it

is a blessing from God

 

that we have accepted

Jesus and become a

community of believers. 

 

 

The faith of each one of us

that has now begun must

go on unwaveringly

to the end.

 

 

This is because our faith

is not only realistic,

 

 

but also related to

the eternal future

of each one of us

and  family.

 

 

We should keep in mind

that we are not of those

who shrink back and

are destroyed,

 

 

but of those who

believe and are saved.

(Heb 10:36-39)
