THE THIRD COMING OF CHRIST?!?!!.
A
friend of mine was in a church meeting, when someone died. There was a
nurse present who verified the lack of respiration and breathing, the
bodily functions ceased, the color of death was present. The people
continued to worship while the ambulance was coming. About 15 to 20
minutes later, the man opened his eyes and lived a wonderful life for
many more years. His granddaughter had had a dream just two weeks
before that her grandfather was going to die in church, and that he
would come back to life.
THE THIRD COMING OF CHRIST!
Assume
with me for a moment that God wants to return to the earth in a THIRD
Way. He came as a Babe, and He’s coming in the clouds. But pretend with
me, that between His 1st and 2nd coming, He wants to come in a 3rd way.
Imagine that this time, He wants to do it like this: Suppose someone is
sitting in church, and has a cardiac attack, and dies, God forbid.
Instead of rushing to give the person ‘artificial rescuperatlon”, the
rest of the people, if they notice at all, think that that person just
fell asleep for a minute. Suppose that before anyone else knows of
this, Christ comes in to this person, blinks open his eyes, and starts
walking around in his shoes in disguise, incognito, speaking, talking,
loving, LIVING, His LIFE, --- the very LIFE of Christ Himself!
The Jehovah’s Witnesses believe in the First and Second coming of Christ, but do not
believe that Jesus, as God, can come and live inside of us as our Life. Because they
don’t believe In this Third Coming, they are going to a hell that they also do not believe
in.
Jesus wants to be glorified and magnified now in all who believe!! Notice this Scripture!
“When
He shall come to be glorified IN His saints and to be admired IN all
them that believe, (because our testimony among you was believed) in
that day” II Thess. 1:10. ‘Christ IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY!”
Colossians 1:28. The LIV calls it ‘the MYSTERY which hath been hid from
ages and from generations, but NOW is made manifest to HIS saints! To
whom God would make known THE RICHES OF THE GLORY OF THIS MYSTERY AMONG
THE GENTILES,
WHICH IS - - - CHRIST IN ~ THE HOPE OF GLORY!!!”
The Williams translation calls this, God’s Glorious ‘OPEN SECRET = CHRIST IN
YOU!!!”
and Beck’s Translation says, THE GLORY OF THIS HIDDEN TRUTH = CHRIST IN
YOU!!!” I have called this, ‘THE KING’S GREATEST SECREI”l!!!!!!! This
is none other than what The Creator King of Everything, In the Bible,
calls “THE MYSTERY OF THE GOSPEL OF THE AGES”!!!! In other words, this
is the GREATEST GOOD-NEWS SECRET OF ALL TIME!!!!!! Please, dear Dear
One, please do NOT let this truth pass you by! Please stay with this
until this ‘Secret Truth” becomes
nitty gritty gut-level REALITY IN YOUR HEART! IN JESUS’ Name, Amen.
So,
back to the illustration - Say that Christ came into your available
dead body and BECAAAAAAAAAAAAAME it’s Life, that is, started living His
Glorious Life THROUGH you, loving THROUGH you, loving, talking, loving,
walking, loving, living, loving, blessing, loving, healing, loving,
BEING ALL THAT HE IS – IN YOU, - BElNG your Salvatlon, NOT giving you
Salvation as an experience APART from Him, but living it, BE-ing it,
DO-ing it through you!!
I Corinthians 1:30 says that Christ, “IS
MADE unto us Wisdom, and Righteousness, and Sanctification, and
Redemption”. These things: Resurrection, Salvation, etc., are not a
‘thing”, or an ‘experience” apart from Him, but are a PERSON. That
Person’s Name is YAHWEH YAHSHUA, The Mighty Right Now God, The Lord and
Saviour Jesus
Christ!!! Even in the Old Testament, please notice all
of the times it refers to Yahweh as BEING our Sword, our Shield, our
Fortress, our Buckler, our Exceeding Great Reward, our High Tower ‘I
will run into Him and be safe”!!! Not “gives us a sword” but ‘IS MY
SWORD”!!! Dear Heart, please - can you see the difference???
Some
people come staggering into church on Sunday morning to get their
“weakly” (weekly) injection fix of righteousness to last them barely
till next Sunday, but Jesus wants to BE our Righteousness!!! BE our
LIFE, our Salvation and Protection. Salvation is not a ‘thing”.
Salvation is a Person! And His Name is Jesus Christ! As I John says,
‘He that hath the Son hath LIFE and he that hath not the Son of God
hath not life.”
