Jesus will Come Again

John 14:3 - And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 

Jesus said, “If I go,” we all know that He did ascend back to Heaven, but He also said, “I will come again!” Just as sure as He went away, He will come again!

Our responsibility is to be ready for His appearance. There are three possible things that we can do at His appearing;

1.  We could be ashamed according to 1 John 2:28 - And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. 

We will be ashamed if we are not abiding in Him. The word abide means to stand, to remain, we are to be faithful in our service to Him. We read in 1 Corinthians 4:2 - Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

2.  We could love His appearing as we learn in 2 Timothy 4:8 - Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. 

3.  We could have praise, honor, and glory according to 1 Peter 1:7 - That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 

Abide in Christ that you can love His appearing!
