Human beings have an obsession with the end of the world. Whether this preoccupation manifests in our interest in post-apocalyptic movies and books or in the Mayan calendar, we find great interest in this subject.
Not surprisingly, then, the subject of Christ’s return captures our interest. When will it be? What will it be like? What events will precede it? These questions have been asked and debated for centuries. They preoccupy us. In fact, too often they distract us from two much more important questions:
(1) What will be the result of Christ’s return?
(2) How can I prepare for Christ’s return?
We have just finished celebrating the first coming of Christ. This Sunday, we will take time to anticipate his second coming, and to talk about how we can appropriately prepare for it.
