Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

Hebrews 9

Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. v27-28

Here in Hebrews 9 we have a discussion of Christ's second coming.  We don't talk about this second coming much in church so I thought it would be useful to learn more about this.  I found the following John Piper posts useful.

What Is the Rapture?
Our Hope: The Appearing of Jesus Christ

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God who came to save me - Thank You Jesus!  I am not deserving of salvation but You provide it anyway through amazing grace.  Again...thank You!  I am not deserving because of my sin, which I have daily...worry among other sins.  Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You.  Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You love me.  Help me grow in my faith.  Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength.  Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo.  Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior.  Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin.  Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
