I want to introduce to you another way of looking at Jesus’ return. Jesus’ coming is a singular event. When we speak of Jesus’ first coming, we think of the announcement of His birth to Mary, the incarnation in Bethlehem, His temple teaching at age 12, His growing up, His baptism by John, His public ministry, His crucifixion, His resurrection, and His ascension. His second coming will include the rise of the antiChrist, the birth pangs spoken of by Jesus in Matthew 24, the great tribulation after the antiChrist desecrates the temple, the resurrection of those who have died in Christ, the rapture of the church, the Day of the Lord, judgment on the wicked with the trumpet and bowl judgments, His physical return to Jerusalem in glory and power, and His establishing His millennial kingdom. Of the 17 times the word coming is used in connection with the return of Christ, it is used only in the singular and always with a definite article or personal pronoun (i.e., thy coming, the coming, or His coming). So again, there is a sequence of events in the second coming of Christ. That sequence includes the rapture of the church. The rapture of the church is a part of the second coming of Christ!

God’s desire is to bless nations. But we must live in such a way that we attract His blessing and help. God did not call us to win political debates. He called us to represent Jesus in our culture, regardless of where we live, or who is in control.  It is time for us to  humble ourselves, seek His face, pray for our nation, and share truth of God's Word with those around us.

It seems that God is seeking to draw all of us closer to Him. How close are you to the Lord? Where do you have compromises? Where do your personal values counter God’s eternal, Kingdom values? To what sin do you easily yield to? Selfishness? Pride? Anger? Gossip? Self-promotion? Lust? Pornography? Fornication? Harmful habits like smoking, alcohol consumption, overeating? Worry? Drug addiction? God is asking us to lay aside distractions before Jesus returns, so that His power and glory can flow unhindered through us. The greatest move of God the world has ever seen is right in front of us! He wants us to get ready for it!

Why Easter Matters   1. Humanity’s Condition: -All people are sinful (Romans 3:23) and separated from a holy God. -God's justice requires a penalty for sin—spiritual and physical death (Romans 6:23). -Without a solution, humanity is destined for judgment and hell.   2. Jesus' Mission and Sacrifice: -Jesus, though sinless, became sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21). -His death was not just physical; it involved deep spiritual suffering and separation from God (Mark 15:34). - He bore the full penalty of sin so we wouldn’t have to. -He went to hell on our behalf, satisfying God’s justice (Matthew 12:40; Acts 2:27).   3. God’s Plan of Redemption: -Jesus' death was part of God's foreknown plan (Acts 2:23). -Prophesied in Isaiah 53 and fulfilled in the Gospels. -His spiritual resurrection (rebirth) in hell and physical resurrection confirmed victory over sin and death.   4. The Result for Us: -Jesus' resurrection guarantees our new, glorified bodies (1 Corinthians 15). -Through faith in Him, we receive forgiveness, reconciliation, and eternal life (John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10).   Seven Spiritual Truths About Jesus’ Sacrifice 1. Spiritual suffering is greater than Physical suffering – He faced abandonment by God for our sins. 2. His death was God’s will – Planned for our salvation, predicted by Jesus Himself. 3. He became our sin – Though pure, He stood in for all humanity’s guilt. 4. He died spiritually – Experienced complete separation from God. 5. He went to hell for us – Fully bore the consequence of sin. 6. Raised from spiritual death – Became the first spiritually reborn person. 7. Given a glorified body – Paved the way for our own eternal resurrection.   Action Steps: Do you believe Jesus took your place? Have you accepted His sacrifice personally? Are you born again and living in the light of His resurrection?   📖 Romans 10:9–10 — Belief in Jesus and confessing Him as Lord is the way to salvation.   Resources: Sermon Notes: Victory Church Notes Get Pastor Mitch's New Book "An Appointment with God's Power": Order on Amazon Website: victorychurchraleigh.com Subscribe to our Weekly Podcast!
