Did Jesus Christ
Really Return?
Jesus told the disciples, "Verily
I say unto you, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death,
till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom." The writer of Hebrews
exclaimed, "For yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and
will not tarry." Jesus concluded the Apocalypse with these words; "Surely
I come quickly." Yet the vast majority of professing Christendom says that
Jesus Christ has not returned. In fact, as the year 2000 approaches, people
all over the world are expecting Christ to come at any time.
Did the New Testament writers
and Jesus really expect Him to return in His kingdom before their generation
passed away? Are we to believe the so-called "prophecy experts" who are
constantly setting dates and resetting them after their "prophecies" fail
only to bring shame to Christianity and Christ Himself? Or do we take the
equally dismal alternative of the skeptic, and question the integrity of
Jesus and the apostles? Were Jesus Christ and the apostles mistaken? If
so, then Christianity must inevitably be a farce. But there is another
alternative-an alternative that upholds the integrity of Jesus Christ.
Jesus and the apostles were
not mistaken. Jesus Christ did return before some of the disciples died,
just as He predicted. He returned to establish an everlasting kingdom-a
kingdom without observation, within the believer in Jesus Christ.
This thought-provoking book
urges both the modern skeptic and professing Christianity to solemnly rethink
their positions concerning the kingdom and integrity of Jesus Christ. Once
the timing of the return of Jesus Christ is understood, there will be a
far greater appreciation for Him, of whom it is said, "Of the increase
of his government and peace there shall be no end." |
