Open Heaven 2 August 2020: [Sunday] – Hold He Cometh
BEHOLD HE COMETH – Sunday August 2nd
2020
Memorise: Behold, he cometh with clouds, and
every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindred’s of
the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. Revelation 1:7
Read: Acts 1:9-11 (KJV)
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was
taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up,
behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into
heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come
in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Message:-
The
second coming of Jesus Christ has become a controversial issue in recent times.
While some people argue that Jesus Christ will not come again, other say He has
come secretly and has taken His position in the Church. Nothing could be
further from the truth!
Open Heaven 2 August 2020 – Hold He Cometh
Jesus
Christ will come again and when He does, all eyes shall see Him. Many verse of
Scripture support the certainty of His second coming – a classic example being
today’s Bible reading. It confirms many truths about today’s discussion.
- Jesus
went into heaven publicly in full view of His disciples and there were
angles who assured them He would return in like manner. It is therefore
unwise to accept the teaching that Christ will not come again or that He
has come secretly.
- He
will return with clouds and every eye, including those of the people who
crucified Him, shall see. Their shame shall be unimaginable. Revelation
1:7 says the kindred of the earth shall wail. Why? It is because they
refused to repent of their sins and Jesus shall come to judge them
according to their works (Revelations 6:1, 15).
“For the great day of his
wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” Revelations 6:17

Who
shall be able to stand? Only those who have accepted the Lamb – who would be
the judge, as their personal Lord and Saviour shall be able to stand. Only
those who have confessed their sins, accepted the love of God as demonstrated
in the gift of His only begotten Son shall be able to stand (John 3:16-18).
Open Heaven 2 August 2020 Sunday: Prayer Point
Beloved,
Jesus is coming sooner than we may accept. Are you prepared for Him? Remember,
He is not coming as a Lamb again but as the Righteous Judge. Repent and be
transformed into His righteousness if you are yet to do so. If you have already
accepted Him as your Lord and Saviour, ask for the grace to hold on faithfully
to the end.
Prayer Point
Father, please
prepared me for the second coming of Your Son my saviour. Through the Holy
Spirit. Amen.
