Second last day of the year – and Selwyn starts to summarise what he has been writing about for the last few days. (Has it been a good year for you?)
He writes: “If Christ’s second coming is not something which will never happen, nor something which has already happened, nor something which is always happening – what is it? It is an event which is yet to happen, as the New Testament repeatedly asserts in the clearest language and as the increasing number of signs in the world around us reveals.”
The main verse for today, (Acts 1:11), is fairly clear: ‘This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way …’. It’s my view that He will surely come back in the same way and the important difference is He will come back as God – Jesus, now glorified – and the whole of creation, that is everything – the physical world, and everything in it – plants, animals & especially us – will automatically respond to His presence. It’s my belief, based on my personal experience, that whatever we think about God – e.g., if He exists or not, will have no bearing on HOW we respond to His presence when He returns. Every knee will bend – then, there will be no choice.
As … so
