Many people have a growing interest in studying the subject of Jesus' return and the "end times." However, a strange thing has happened over time. Many times when the subject of Jesus' return is discussed, we study everything except Jesus. However, the biblical perspective is clear: The study of the return of Jesus is not primarily a study of events—it is the study of the Person revealed in those events.
The Bible has a lot to say about the subject of Jesus' return so it is important we engage in a responsible, biblical study of Jesus Return. In this course we will explore the subject of Jesus' return and in the process we will discover:
The beauty and majesty of Jesus as it is uniquely revealed in His return.
The hope of the gospel as the apostles proclaimed it.
What the Bible says about the timing of Jesus’ return.
Why Jesus’ return is key for discipleship and pastoral ministry.
How to understand what the Bible says about Jesus’ judgments.
Why a biblical understanding of Jesus’ return fuels missions.
The Bible presents the return of Jesus as the fulfillment of God's divine promise, the hope of the church, and the day when our hope is fulfilled. It is also compared to a wedding day when Jesus returns for His bride. Like any bride, we should long for the day when Jesus returns and we are with Him.
A believer who does not love the return of Jesus and study it is like a bride not interested in her wedding day—it’s unnatural.
