" HE Came, HE Went Back and HE Will Come Again ! "

 

JESUS, HE is the most important person who ever lived.

* HE CAME

HIS first coming was so important that even now, 2,000 years later, we plan for the celebration of HIS birth by a month of feverish activity. We call HIS birthday Christmas.

     HE was killed at the early age of 33. Before HIS death HE had spent only three years speaking to the people. Why is HE important ?

* HE WENT BACK

Three days after HIS death, HE arose from the grave and was seen on many occasions by a total of over 500 people.

     Then HE physically ascended into Heaven ! How could all this be ? What is HE doing now ?

* HE WILL COME AGAIN

On many occasions during HIS life and after HIS resurrection HE clearly stated that HE will come again. Since everything predicted about HIS first coming has come true, and everything that HE said has come true, it is certain that HE will return.

     Obviously all this could not happen to a mere man. And these events are important to know simply because JESUS CHRIST is both GOD and MAN.

HE CAME *

HE came the first time to solve the basic problem of mankind: the sin-problem which separates GOD and man.

     HIS teachings are wonderful. You can read the story of HIS life in two hours in one of the short books (called Gospels) written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John. 

     But more important than what HE said is what HE did. Although HE was perfectly good, HE took the punishment due us because of our sins. HE died for us. "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel . . . by which also ye are saved, . . . For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and that HE rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:" 1st.Corinthians 15:1a,2a,3-4. Those who accept HIM as their substitute will not have to pay for their own sins. This is GOD's plan for rescuing mankind.

     GOD showed HIS approval of JESUS' finished work on the cross by raising HIM from the dead. Death is the result of sin, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of GOD is eternal life through JESUS CHRIST our LORD." Romans 6:23

HE WENT BACK *

After proving beyond any doubt that HE was physically alive, JESUS returned to HIS FATHER in Heaven. HE is there now. HE watches as HIS church spreads throughout the whole world. HE helps HIS followers. HE rules everything - every nation and person and event - to guide history to the point where HE will return.

HE WILL COME AGAIN *

When JESUS comes again, HE won't come as a weak baby in a poor stable. HE will come in majesty and glory and honor ! HE won't come to be crucified. HE will come as KING of the universe ! Everyone who has ever lived will be brought before HIM for judgment.

     How will you stand in that judgment ? Those who have received CHRIST as their personal LORD and SAVIOR will not stand in judgment at the White Throne Judgment for their sins are covered under the blood of JESUS; BUT those who have refused JESUS, will face HIM as JUDGE, "And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire."

". . .: BEHOLD, now is the accepted time; BEHOLD, now is the day of Salvation." 2nd.Corinthians 6:2b  Today, this moment is the only moment you are guaranteed, tomorrow may be too late. Come to JESUS in repentance and faith, HE is longsuffering not willing that any should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance.

Your servant in CHRIST,

Julie
