AMY TURNER

The Bible teaches that Jesus will return one day, and this event will be very different from when He first came to earth. In Revelation 19:11, it describes a powerful image of Jesus riding a white horse, called “faithful and true,” coming to judge fairly and wage war against evil.

The first time Jesus came, He arrived in humility, choosing a life of suffering to pay the price for humanity’s sins. As foretold in Isaiah 53:5, “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities.” His mission then was to offer salvation and open the way for people to be part of God’s kingdom.

However, when Jesus comes again, it will be with authority and majesty. This time, He will defeat all evil and complete the work He began. His second coming will mark the fulfilment of God’s plan, bringing the kingdom of God into its fullness.

and they said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”

Acts 1:11
