S6E13: He Is Coming (We Believe... Pt. 9)

Sermon #292

Our exposition of the Apostles' Creed brings us to the end of the Christological statement of faith.  We who have embraced Christ by faith for forgiveness of sins can rest assured in the final judgment.  But what about those who have not?  Jesus said he will come again, and he talks about his return as a time of judgment - what the Old Testament calls the "great and terrible day of the Lord."  Jesus came once as a savior.  He will return as a judge.  Though our society may want to clip the wings of Jesus and portray him only as loving and merciful, make no mistake: God is a God of justice, and He poured out His justice on Jesus at Calvary.  He did that for you and for me.  The question is, what will you do with the life God has given you in Jesus Christ?
