Today, we shift from the Rapture to the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. At the Rapture, Christ returns to remove the church before the Tribulation period begins. At the Second Coming, Christ comes all the way back to earth and begins the final judgment against sin. Matthew 16: 27 reads: "For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works." The person who will not assume the risks involved in becoming a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ will, in the long run, lose his life eternally. The opposite is also true. At Christ’s second coming all accounts will be settled and everyone will receive his proper rewards. There is coming a time of rewards in the future for believers. Here, however, the Lord was concerned with the reward of the ungodly—final and eternal judgment. Know for certain that a time is coming when all will be made right. True believers look forward to this day, a day when we will be with our Lord forever and ever. Glory! What a day that will be! Are you ready? Have you packed?
