Opening Prayer - Heavenly Father we thank you for the oppertunity to worship your Son this morning. We know that if He hadn't died on the cross for our sins and arose from the dead, we would have no way to have a future home in Heaven or the privilage of worshiping Him this morning. Please bless us indeed and give us the strength and wisdom to live the way the Bible says we should live. We pray that everyone who reads this sermon who are not saved will become saved before it is too late. As we begin our third week learning about Your Son's return, please help us be ready so we will not be left behind. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Jesus' Return

 

This is a continuation of last Sunday morning's sermon.

 

If you read Sunday morning's sermon from two weeks ago, you should know that you need to become a Christian or be sure you are really a Christian before Jesus returns, and if you read last Sunday morning's sermon, you should know that you should look forward to Jesus' return more than anything if you are a Christian. So, are there other views that we should have about Jesus' return? Yes there is, and you will see that in this sermon. 

 

If you are a Christian, you should watch for Jesus' coming, and work very hard doing the things God wants you to do before Jesus returns.

 

Matthew 24:42-51 says -

42Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

45Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

(If you profess to be a Christian, but you haven't been expecting Jesus to return soon and/or doing things to serve others, please follow this website - http://chriswaug5.wix.com/makingsure)  

Since Jesus is returning any moment, you should "hurry" to begin reaching people who are not Christians.

If the Holy Spirit leads you to ask people if they are a Christian, and they say that they aren't, send them this website - http://chriswaug5.wix.com/howtogotoheaven  

If the Holy Spirit leads you to ask people if they are a Christian, and they say that they are a Christian, send them this website - http://chriswaug5.wix.com/makingsure  and encourage them to start reading at the fourth paragraph.

If the Holy Spirit leads you to ask people if they are a Christian, and they say that they aren't sure, send them this website -

Also, you should be doing things such as -

spend more of your money on things like evangelistic associations, charities, and things for God’s purposes instead of entertainment and material type things (Matthew 6:19-21), if you have money left over from providing yourself with food, clothing, and shelter, you should be willing to give to those who have needs and/or ask the church that you attend and/or support financially to help meet their needs (Luke 12:16-21);

teach people the Bible (Matthew 28:19), counsel with people who are having problems (Galatians 6:2), encourage others (Hebrews 10:25), correct other believers when they sin (Galatians 6:1), and tell people how to become Christians (2 Timothy 4:5) by mouth, through email or social media, and/or by handing out or dropping off Christian tracts in places like stores or restaurants where people can pick them up;

 

feed, clothe, and provide shelter and financial help for the less fortunate, and visit people in hospitals and jails (Mark 12:30-31);

 

do acts of kindness for people that will make God look good in front of others (for example - cook, clean, do people’s yard work, help people shop, wash people’s cars, fix people’s appliances) (Matthew 5:16).

 

After you have done these types of things to help people, they will very likely want to become Christians too.
