JESUS WILL COME AGAIN!

As we eat the chocolates in our Advent Calendars, go to churches all over the world, some in winter wonderlands, and others in mid-summer ‘s heat, as we decorate our homes with real holly and ivy, or, in summer lands, with plastic versions of holly and hang plastic wreaths on our front doors, we celebrate the coming of our Lord by singing our favourite carols in church or as we go carolling with friends in the neighbourhood. Hark the herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn, King, Silent night, Holy night, Jesus Christ is born today Hallelujah! and Joy to the world, the Lord is come! 
The old, old story really is ever new, and we celebrate it with joy. But do we think of a time of even greater joy when we will celebrate our Lord’s great Second Coming?  
The Apostle Paul writing to the Thessalonian Church says in 1 Thess 4:16, 17 “For the Lord himself shall descend from Heaven with the voice of the Archangel and with the trump of God and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air,  and so shall we be ever with the Lord.” 
The Apostle John writes in Rev 1:7, “Behold, he cometh with the clouds, and every eye will see him.” 
The apostle Paul, writing to the Church at Philippi in Phil 2:1-11 says, “So that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father".
The Apostle Matthew, writing in Mt 24:2 says, “Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.” 
The Book of Acts is believed to have been written by Luke, “the beloved physician.” In Acts 1:10,11 he writes,” And while they looked steadfastly as he went up to Heaven, two men stood by them in white apparel which also said, “Why stand ye up gazing into Heaven? This same Jesus shall come in like manner as ye have seen him go.”
