Title: Future Glory (4 of 6)
Series: More Than Conquerors
Author: Jeff Schreve
Text: Romans 8:18-27
In the late 80s, a man wrote a book. He was an unknown until 1988, and then people began to know who he was because he sold 4.5 million copies of this book. His name was Edgar Whisenant, and the book title was, "Eighty-eight Reasons Why The Rapture Is During The Feast of Trumpets in 1988, Eighty-eight Reasons Why The Rapture Will Be In 1988." He put "in the feast of trumpets, September 11 through 13th. Four and a half million copies sold. Spoiler alert! Jesus didn't come in 1988 just in case you were going to get the book. He wrote a follow-up book called, "The Rapture Report 1989." It's "Eight-nine Reasons Why I Missed It." That was the sub-title. He thought Jesus was coming in 1989. "Well, I know He's coming soon," he said. And his final book was called, "Twenty-three Reasons Why a Pre-tribulation Rapture Will Occur In 1993." Edgar Whisenant.
Jesus didn't come in 1988. He didn't come in 1989. He didn't come in 1993. We don't know when He's coming. That's heaven's most guarded secret. We just know that He is coming, and we are not to set dates, but we are to set our hearts on the fact that His coming is soon. It says in the Book of James, "The coming of the Lord is at hand." And we don't know when. Jesus said, "An hour when you think not, the Son of man comes." So, we need to live every day. Here's a great way to live. Live as if Jesus died yesterday, rose this morning, and is coming back tonight. That, that's how you keep the death, burial, resurrection, and return of Christ near and dear to your heart. That keeps you excited in the Lord, to live for Him every second of every day.
Well, today, as we're going through Romans chapter 8, we want to talk about "Future Glory," because that's what the Scripture deals with in today's passage, verses 18 through 27. It talks about future glory. And Titus chapter 2 tells us we're to ...
