A New Name For Christians

We conclude our 'Lord of Glory' series this week with a final message on the Parousia – the Appearing of our Lord. This event may not always loom large in our thinking. However, as the Nicene Creed teaches us, 'He will come again in glory, to judge the living and the dead.' The Scriptures teach and encourage us to live each day with that day in mind– not only to be prepared, but to look forward to that day. As those who are in Christ, we need not be afraid or shrink bank from him in shame at his coming. Instead, we can be those who 'love his appearing' as we wait patiently for "our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ."
