The Second Coming of Christ
Series Christian Fundamentals
This concluding message in the series on Christian Fundamentals explores the doctrine that captivated the hopes of believers during the apostolic age. They believed the promise of the Savior that He would come again. Their proclamation of the Second Coming of Christ was not, as the skeptics have argued, an invention designed to keep believers under the authority of the apostles and their successors. It was a promise heard from the lips of Christ, and reinforced by the angels who spoke to the disciples in the aftermath of Christ's ascension to Heaven. The apostolic emphasis was on the reality that the Lord Jesus was going to come again. They were not taken up with any debate over the exact timing of events surrounding His coming. They were taken up with the thought that their Savior was going to come again to the world, and that His Second Coming would be for the purpose of judgment. He would return in the same manner as He went away and would be the same Jesus Who ascended into Heaven.
