98. The Second Coming of Christ
Acts 1:11; Matt. 24:42, 44; 1 Thess. 4:16-17; Titus 2:11-13; 1 John 3:2
Leader reads the plain lines; the congregation reads the bold lines.
This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God;
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
