The Second Advent of Christ

The Second Advent of Christ explores the closing verses of Revelation as the Lord Jesus gives His final testimony and urgent promises to His church. While Christ's first advent revealed His patience and suffering servanthood, His second advent will manifest the full glory of His divine kingdom. As St. Cyril of Jerusalem observed in the 4th century, these two comings stand in stark contrast—the first marked by humility and grace, the second by glory and judgment. This sermon examines Christ's threefold promise "I am coming soon," the Spirit and Bride's cry of "Come!", and the eternal implications of how we respond to God's final invitation before the Lord returns to make all things new.
