Pray and Do Not Lose Heart
Last week we heard of the great and glorious day of Jesus’ return. It is a day when He will come to judge and wage war, pouring out His vengeance upon His enemies as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. It will be a day of reckoning. He will make all things wrong, right, for He is Righteous and True. He will make every imperfect thing, perfect, as the Great Perfecter of all things. He will make every unclean thing, clean and pure, as the Great Purifier. It will be messy as grapes, vessels of wrath, are tread upon by the Great Victor, Jesus. As the great theologian Johnny Cash says, "God’s Gonna Cut You Down". It will be a long awaited, glorious day for the children of God, as He will make all things new. What do we do, until this great day comes, how do we live in light of this? Jesus answers this question to His disciples in a parable connected to His foretelling of His second coming, His return, when the heavens will be opened and He comes riding on that white horse.

The Rescue of the Righteous
Luke 21:25-36 As He sat with His disciples on Mt. Olivet, Jesus declared that one day the Temple they all admired would be destroyed, and Jerusalem trampled under foot. Yet, this event would only be a preview of power and judgment that would accompany the return of the Son of Man. And yet, the disciples should not panic or worry. For the return of Jesus would bring about the great rescue of the righteous … the redemption we all crave.

Coming Again
Concerning Christ's Second Coming, Christians either try to figure out all the details concerning his return or forget about it altogether because it is too difficult to understand. While we will never be sure about times and details of his return, we can be sure of this - we have hope - he is coming again!

Renewal
Jesus has come to restore the creation and renew all that was lost at the Fall. The Revelation gives us a picture of this final renewal that Jesus Christ has won through his life, death and resurrection and will bring about at his return when His Kingdom is consummated.

The End of the World
In one of the most often misunderstood passages of Mark, Jesus predicts the coming fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple. Jesus warns his disciples about what they are getting into as his witnesses, attempting to help them see the challenge of faithful endurance to the end. In this long passage, Jesus uses the coming destruction of Jerusalem as a way to talk about the future world-wide tribulation and his immanent return.

Luke 18:1-8 - The Right Kind of Faith
For a church to become a biblical community and make biblical disciples, the members need to cultivate an eternal prepsective and a right view of God's gracious actions. In this passage Jesus exhorts his disciples to endure, after rebuking and warning the pharisees about his second coming at the end of chapter 17. This explicitly sets the context of the passage on the second coming of Christ (not a secret rapture). The basic questions that is being asked is "Will God Find faith on earth when he comes again? Will the warnings of Jesus to remember Lot's wife, to keep the heart fixed on Christ, and to not love the world secure the faith of the disiciples? Will they endure to the end?" How can we endure to the end and don't become like Lot's wife - who was too much in love with this world to go all the way with Christ? Jesus tells His disciples not to loose heart but keep praying because God is ready to answer. Our problem with praying is that good things in life and normal beneficial activities in life can make us just as insensitive to the reality of God as gross things in life. Our heart can grow cold to Christ easily. The point of the passage is not to say that Jesus is an unjust judge, but to show his disciples the willingness of God to vindicate His elect when they pray. If an unjust judge will grant a persistant widow her request how much more will God (who is never unjust) be willing to vindiate his elect!

The Olivet Discourse, Part 2 (Mark 13:24-27)
Jesus foretells the destruction of Jerusalem but also looks ahead to his second coming. Much scriptural prophecy about the coming of God's kingdom has this already-but-not-yet flavor. While we cannot know when he will return, nor what the exact circumstances surrounding his return will be, but we can be sure he will return. Knowing this should cause us to be looking for his return with eager anticipation, comforted with the knowledge that he is coming, and seeking to walk in faithful obedience to our Lord.

Our King's Mercy
The first time Christ came on a donkey with tears in His eyes full of mercy as he rode into Jerusalem. His disciples scattered out of fear. We should never forget that the second time He will come on a white warrior horse with fire in His eyes, blood of vengence on His robe as well as the name written "King of Kings and Lord of Lords" - Revelations 19:11-ff We are still under His grace and mercy and need to proclaim the Gospel while there is still time...
