In this sermon, we looked at how the second coming of Jesus gives us hope in the midst of a world that seems broken and full of injustice. 1 Corinthians 15 and Revelation 19 illustrate how Jesus is predicted to return as a victorious warrior who conquers His enemies and establishes the Kingdom of God on Earth. This is the same Jesus whose first Advent led Him to suffer, die, and resurrect from the dead. Through His resurrection, Jesus secured victory over His enemies and gave us hope that we, too, will one day resurrect from the dead and live eternally in His victory. Looking at the description of Jesus’ return in Revelation 19, we see a good Father who loves His children and is ready to bring a final end to all their suffering. Like a good father, He fights for His children. When Jesus returns as a victorious warrior riding on a white horse, we will see what He sees and fully understand His love for us.
