Come Lord Jesus - Podcast 402

Why Hasn't Jesus Returned? It is almost 2,000 years since Jesus said he would return for His body of believers, His church. Why hasn't He come back? We learn the reason why when we read the real answer written, for our understanding, in James chapter 5 verses 7 and 8. It is important that we keep working in our portion of the Kingdom of God and patiently wait for His return. Christians must wait expectantly, just like the farmer waiting for the harvest of His crop. The Lord patiently awaits the heavenly harvest not willing that anyone, who can be saved, will miss out being saved. However, we have God's promise of His near return. Huge numbers of born again Christians have gone to be with the Lord over the past 2,000 years. Many will shortly experience the wonder of His soon coming return, when He raptures and takes home His church to heaven!

Episode Notes

In life's journey, upon planet earth, there are two paths that a person can follow. We learn about these two pathways from Matthew chapter 7 verses 13 and 14. Christians are only able to enter heaven through the path that leads from the narrow gate. This entry point is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who shed His blood on the Cross at Calvary, for all, who are willing to believe and accept Him as their own personal Lord and Saviour. They must obediently follow Him on a narrow and difficult pathway that at first includes repentance from their sins and then having their spirit recreated by the Holy Spirit, in the likeness of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. These folk willingly accept God's word, the Holy Bible, as their guide book for life and follow its instructions. Everyone else, who are not born again Christians, follow the broad way that often looks and feels great but only leads to hell and eternal destruction. It is broad and easier to travel on but leads not to heaven but to eternal loss, in hell.
