Come, Lord Jesus as Judge
A King would come to judge the world with righteousness and establish an everlasting kingdom. The only question is if one sees Christ’s second coming with joy or regret. For those who fail to repent, the coming of the Judge brings certain doom. But his people will see that Judge like a banner on the hilltop, rallying us to his glorious side.
Scripture References: James 5:7-11
From Series: "Come, Lord Jesus"
The Latin word adventus means “coming.” The last words in Scripture are “Come, Lord Jesus!” Thus, the season of Advent begins with the end in mind. We cry out “Come, Lord Jesus”--for him to come again at the end of time because we know that Jesus has come into our world once before. As this new Church Year walks us through the entire life of Christ, we see God’s promises of deliverance fulfilled... God’s plan of salvation completed. Advent allows us to see that because of what Christ did when he came the first time, believers need not fear when he comes again. Instead, we yearn for it. Come, Lord Jesus!
