A little less than a week ago, we officially celebrated the first coming of Jesus Christ. His first advent, or arrival, was for the express purpose of redeeming fallen sinners. It is a breathtaking endeavor to look down the corridors of time into the truths of His first coming. He came as the lamb slain before the foundation of the world. He came as the babe born in Bethlehem. He came to redeem fallen sinners by taking their place on the cross.
It is so wonderful to examine these truths, however, in looking back, we must not forget to look forward. Just as certainly as Jesus came, He is coming again. He is not coming the second time to suffer, but to conquer. There is no uncertainty. There should be no doubt. Just as certain as we are that He has come, we must be that He is coming again.
