Come, Lord Jesus “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord”

 

Come, Lord Jesus

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord”

There are a lot of wonderful names the Bible gives to describe the Messiah

The One who came as a child

But unless you and I know Him as Lord

As Ruler of the kings of the earth and King of your life and mine

We cannot be saved

If we really want to see the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, we need to confess  

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord”

Jesus’ return will not happen until

His people are excited about Jesus being Lord, His rule and government 

Is it ok for Jesus to deal with the unjust things in your life?

Is it ok to let Jesus decide what is right?

Romans 10:10 says, “It is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”

Remember Jesus said

For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say,

‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord’. Matthew 23:39

Do you know the blessing of letting the Lord

Make the decisions in, and for, your life?

 

 

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord”

 

The second to the last

verse in the Bible says…

 

He who testifies to these things says,

 "Yes, I am coming soon."

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

Revelation 22:21

 

Jesus says…

 “I am coming soon”

 

And John says…

 “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus”

 

It seems our desire for Jesus

 to return increases

when life gets troubled.

 

When life is good,

we are not in such a hurry.

 

I remember when I was

dating Sandy, I was very much

looking for the Lord’s return…

 

 But I prayed God would wait a

little while so we could marry.

 

How quickly do you want the Lord to return?

 

Isaiah prophesied the coming of the Messiah.

 

 He said…

 

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,

and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

 Isaiah 9:6

 

I love to read…

 

And He will be called

Wonderful Counselor,

Mighty God,

Everlasting Father,

Prince of Peace.

 

I love to call Him…

 

 Savior,

Redeemer,

Friend,

Helper

 

I love to think of Jesus in these ways.

 

I think sometimes we

fail to see Him as Lord.

    

Isaiah says…

 

 “And the government will be on his shoulders.”

Of the increase of his government and peace

there will be no end.

He will reign on David's throne

and over his kingdom,

establishing and upholding it

with justice and righteousness

from that time on and forever.

The zeal of the LORD Almighty

will accomplish this.

Isaiah 9:7

 

He upholds His Kingdom

with justice and righteousness.

 

Throughout the Book of Isaiah,

 we read many amazing promises

concerning what God will do for His people.

 

But the Book shows God dealing

in justice and righteousness.

 

God allowed the Assyrians to

take His people into captivity…

 

And Babylon to destroy Judah.

 

In Matthew 23, Jesus is

rebuking the religious leaders.

 

At the conclusion of the chapter,

Jesus tells us when He is coming again…

 

For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say,

‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord’.

Matthew 23:39

 

Jesus is not coming back

until the religious leaders say…

 

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.”

 

Romans 10:9 & 10 tells us all…

 

 We must confess Jesus as “Lord” to be saved.

 

There are a lot of wonderful names the

Bible gives to describe the Messiah.

 

The One who came as a child.

 

But unless you and I know Him as Lord…

 

As Ruler of the kings of the earth…

 

And King of your life and mine…

 

We cannot be saved.

 

If we really want to see the return of the

Lord Jesus Christ, we need to confess…

  

“Blessed is he who comes

in the name of the Lord”

 

Jesus’ return will not happen…

 

 Until His people are excited

about Jesus being Lord,

His rule and government.

 

Is it ok for Jesus to deal with

the unjust things in your life?

 

Is it ok to let Jesus decide what is right?

 

Romans 10:10 says…

 

 “It is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”

 

Remember Jesus said…

 

For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say,

‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord’.

Matthew 23:39

 

Do you know the blessing of letting

the Lord make the decisions in,

and for, your life?
