The Blessing and Curse of Christ’s Return
The day of Jesus’ return will be a day of unparalleled joy for His people and a day of unspeakable horror for His enemies. Today, R.C. Sproul poses a searching question: Which will it be for you?
As Christians, we look forward to the return of Jesus with great anticipation, the day when our Prince will come and will set aright all of those things which are unjust and out of kilter in this world. We long for that day as a time of vindication, a time of healing for the nations, a time of the final realization of the fullness of our salvation.
But what if our faith is a hypocritical faith? What if it’s not real? What will happen to us on that day? You see, when the New Testament speaks of the return of Christ, it speaks of it in two different dimensions. On the one hand, it is the day of final salvation for the people of God. On the other hand, it will be the day of final judgment, where God’s long-suffering and patience with wickedness will come to an end. And so, it will be a two-edged sword, won’t it? For those who are saved, it will be the time of exquisite delight. For those who are not, it will be the ultimate time of judgment and doom. What will it be for you?
