The story of Jesus is not over. In one of his final prophetic discourses, Jesus promised that one day He would return and every eye will see Him.

In His first appearance, Jesus came to earth as a simple Galilean peasant who lived the perfect life, died on the cross for us, and rose again. But the promise of the Second Coming guarantees His final victory over all enemies and the gathering of the elect— His people from every tribe, nation, and people. So, we believe in the visible return of Christ that will end history.

We live between these two appearances of Christ; yet, as a church, the hope in the Second Coming is the cause for endurance and hope, and is a promise that will purify our lives.
