| Christ Appearing “When Christ … appears.” Colossians 3:4 There is an inscription on the dome of the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C. which few people know about. It reads, “One far-off divine event towards which the whole creation moves.” A visitor once saw that inscription and asked one of the guides what it means. The guide hesitated for a minute and then replied, “I think it refers to the second coming of Jesus Christ!” The Bible says very plainly that Jesus Christ will one day return, to put an end to evil, and to take over the reigns of world government. That belief goes back to the day when Jesus Christ ascended into heaven. Luke, Paul’s companion and the author of the Book of Acts, describes how that belief began. He tells how Jesus walked with the disciples for 40 days and then, on that memorable day, literally ascended into heaven. He says, “They [meaning the followers of Jesus] were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. ‘Men of Galilee,’ they said, ‘why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.’” Acts 1:10-11 This belief — that Jesus Christ would return and physically come again, just as He came the first time — was held by all the writers of the New Testament. The author of Hebrews wrote, “He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him” Hebrews 9:28 The Apostle Paul wrote that we are to, “…wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own…” Titus 2:13-14 |
