Return of Christ

Hold on and persevere – Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Hold on and persevere – Dietrich Bonhoeffer

The messengers of Jesus will be hated to the end of time. They will be blamed for all the division which rend cities and homes. Jesus and his disciples will be condemned on all sides for undermining family life, and for leading the nation astray; they will be called crazy fanatics and disturbers of the peace. The disciples will be sorely tempted to desert their Lord. But the end is also near, and they must hold on and persevere until it comes. Only he will be blessed who remains loyal to Jesus and his word until the end.

Thinking about the Second Coming – Alexander MacLaren

Thinking about the Second Coming – Alexander MacLaren

The apostolic [early] church thought more about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ than about death and heaven. The early Christians were looking, not for a cleft in the ground called a grave but for a cleavage in the sky called Glory.

Gazing upon our Savior – Adrian Rogers

Gazing upon our Savior – Adrian Rogers

Our faith looks backward to a crucified Savior. Our love looks upward to a crowned Savior. And our hope looks forward to a coming Savior.

Abusing this world – Robert Murray McCheyne

Abusing this world – Robert Murray McCheyne

“The form of this world is passing away”
1 Corinthians 7:31

Brethren, if you are ever so deeply taken up with any enjoyment that it takes away your love for prayer or for your Bible, or that it would frighten you to hear the cry, “The bridegroom comes” and you’d reply, “Has He come already?” then you are abusing this world.
