📖 Session 14: The Return of Christ

“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself.” – John 14:3

🧱 The Big Idea

The return of Christ is not just a future event — it’s a present hope. Jesus will return for His Church, establish justice, and make all things new. This hope fuels our faithfulness and urgency today.

🌅 What Scripture Says

• Acts 1:11: “This same Jesus… will come back in the same way…”
• 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17: The Lord will descend and the Church will be caught up
• Revelation 22:12: “Behold, I am coming soon!”

⏳ Living in Readiness

Jesus’ return shapes how we live. We’re called to be awake, faithful, and full of hope. This doesn’t lead to fear — but to joyful anticipation and passionate mission.

🔥 Key Takeaways

• Jesus is coming back bodily and visibly
• The Church is His bride — and He’s preparing a wedding feast (Rev. 19:7)
• We are to live ready, pure, and on mission (Matthew 25:1–13)

🙏 Response Time

Ask the Lord:

• Am I living like Jesus could return today?
• How does this hope affect my priorities and relationships?
• Who around me needs to know this hope?

✍️ Prayer

Jesus, thank You for the promise of Your return. Help me live ready, with oil in my lamp and love in my heart. Awaken my passion, urgency, and joy as I wait for You. Come, Lord Jesus. Amen.
