When He Returns (1 of 4)
Series: The End is Near
Scott Maze
Luke 12:35-48
This is the first sermon in a series of messages on Jesus' vision of the last days. And it's just in time for school to kick off both here and in Northwest ISD. What comes to mind when you think of the End of Time? Judgment, the Four Horsemen, the Antichrist, or perhaps even 666? People have an emotional reaction to the Bible's teaching on the end times. Some say it's scary while others believe it's confusing. Whatever you might think, many of us would have to agree that there's little understanding of Jesus' vision of the end days.
There are 260 chapters in the New Testament, and Christ's return is mentioned no less than 318 times. Statistically, one verse in twenty-five mentions Christ's return. There's only three books in all of the New Testament that do no refer to His return. So even a cursory reading of the New Testament highlights the importance of Jesus' return.
Over the course of the next few weeks, I want you to feel the wonder and awe of the Bible's teaching of Christ's return. I want this truth to impact your Monday commute to work. I want the impact of Christ's return to stir you with new affections for Christ. As a Christian believer, is the end of time really that important to my life? Does it really make a difference to how I live? I want to show you why Jesus' return is important and His vision of the end times isn't as confusing as many people make it.
Today, I want to give you at least two reasons why Jesus' Return is Significant.
Today, we read a passage with one most telling and frankly surprising of metaphors Jesus uses to describe His return - a thief breaking into your home in the middle of the night. It's page 1108 in the black pew Bible in front of you.
''Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning, 36 and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they m ...
