Summary

continued: Matthew 24:24-27 (Revelation 1:7) Matthew 24:36, 42, 46 John 5:28-29 III)Teaching of the Apostles I Peter 1:3-5 I Thessalonians 4:13-5:4 I Corinthians 15:20-28 There will be scoffers - vs4. Their argument: from the beginning of time, nothing has changed (in regard to God’s intervention in history & the affairs of men). This argument “deliberately overlooks” 1)God’s creation, 2)God’s judgment by the flood, 3)God’s intervention into the lost state of man (my addition to Peter’s argument). Vs7 - In this same way God will speak & fire will destroy the earth and the ungodly. People will scoff at the thought, but we must remember the promise that Jesus is coming again, that judgment is a coming reality, and be ready. How can we be ready for Christ’s coming again? 1)Faith in Christ as Savior. 2)Commitment to Christ as Lord. 3)Hold fast to Jesus until He comes. 4)Be about His business until He comes. The 1st coming of Christ is undeniable history; the 2nd coming of Christ, as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, is just as sure! Until Jesus comes, we must remember His promise, hold fast to His presence, & be about His business.
