Study 9A THE CHRISTIAN’’S BLESSED HOPE
DAYS OF HEAVEN UPON EARTH
(Scripture Portion: Titus 2:1-15)
The Christian’’s ‘‘blessed hope’’ is referred to in Titus 2:13: it is the imminent, personal and (I believe) pre-Millennial return of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The word ‘‘hope’’ in the New Testament does not imply uncertainty, as when we say, ‘‘I hope so!’’ The Greek word means ‘’a joyful and confident expectation’’, and this hope is joyful and confident because it is based upon the promise of our Lord (John 14:3). All the signs point to the fact that the Lord’’s coming is imminent; the scriptures clearly predict that His coming will be pre-Millennial –- that is, that He must come before there can be any Millennium.
This is a thrilling subject, yet there are many Christians who, through ignorance of the scriptures or prejudice, are not expecting and looking for the return of the Lord. Let us consider some reasons why every Christian should be familiar with the ‘’blessed hope’’ of the coming again of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 . First , because this subject concerns the Lord Jesus Himself .
It is most important to beware of the danger of becoming more occupied with the event than with the Person who is coming. Scattered throughout the Word of God there are scores of thrilling details concerning the time, manner and place of His return, but the most thrilling aspect of this whole subject is that HE is coming –- our Lord Jesus Himself! Three N.T. scriptures especially emphasise that it is our Lord Himself who is coming:
The Saviour’’s Declaration –- John 14:2 – ““I…”
The Angel’’s Confirmation –- Acts 1:9-11 – “”This same Jesus…”…”
The Apostle’’s Testimony –- 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 – ““the Lord Himself…
Yes, the Lord Himself is coming, and therefore we as His followers should not only be familiar with this fact but we should also be on the lookout for Him.Think of these things.see you in the next part of this study,God bless you.
