now i want you to turn with me to the
passage that ralph bell read to us
the third chapter of ii peter i wish i
had an opportunity
to go verse by verse in this chapter
because it’s one of the most
important chapters concerning the coming
again
of jesus christ i want to speak on
the day of the coming of christ that day
it’s called in scripture now when you
woke up this morning
i want to ask you what were your
expectations of today
many people began thinking well it’s
going to be just an average day nothing
unusual about that
nothing out of the ordinary nothing much
to look forward to just an
average day and then there may be the
graduation day our anniversary day a
promotion day or
a day in which you retire maybe a day in
which you start your vacation
or maybe your birthday or the birth of a
child
but tonight i want to talk to you about
a day that is unique
in the history of the world the day when
the bible teaches
jesus christ is coming back to this
earth and that day
is on god’s calendar the word of god
says it’ll only happen once and it’s
going to come as a devastating shock for
those that are not prepared
but for those who look forward to the
coming of jesus christ
it’s going to be a day of great joy and
the early new testament christians
continually talked about
and looked forward to that day or the
day or the last days these expressions
are used throughout the new testament
the last days and we are living i
believe in the last days
what kind of a day are we looking for
what’s going to happen on that day
well first of all it’ll be a day of
revelation
2 thessalonians 1 7 says and to you who
are troubled
rest with us when the lord jesus shall
be revealed from heaven
with his mighty angels he’s not going to
come riding a donkey the next time
he’s going to come with the mighty
angels of heaven
it’s going to be the personal return
and appearance of jesus christ after the
crucifixion and the resurrection
of jesus the bible says he appeared in
person to his disciples
and to 500 of his followers but jesus
didn’t appear to pilate have you ever
wondered why
or to herod or to the chief priest
or those that engineered his crucifixion
he didn’t appeal to them why
appear to them why because it was not
the time
they they’re going to see him on that
day that is yet future
revelation 1 7 says look he’s coming
with the clouds and every eye will see
him
even those who pierced him and all the
peoples of the earth will mourn because
of him
even the people that pierced him even
the people that engineered his death are
going to see him
