Are you looking for the return of Jesus?
After the resurrection, Jesus ascended into Heaven, but the Bible tells us about the return of Jesus.
What will it be like on that day? Are you looking forward to it? If not, then you may need a different Vantage Point.

Welcome to those here, watching online, or on Facebook live.
Welcome back to our Vantage Point series
So far we have looked at Good Friday, Easter, the ascension and Pentecost ç Go watch it
This week we are going to be looking at the second coming of Jesus
The Return of Christ
Jesus is coming back. We worship the one who was, who is, and who is to come.
Last week we talked about it when it was mentioned in Acts 1:9-11
ACTS 1:9 (NIV) After He said this, He was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
ACTS 1:10 (NIV) They were looking intently up into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
ACTS 1:11 (NIV) “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”
The Return of Christ
This week is different in two ways:

* Takes place in the future – described in the Bible but hasn’t happened yet
If it happens in the future, how do we know who sees it?
* Lots of people – All people see it
And yet, only one vantage point

Vantage Point – a place or position affording a good view of something
Everyone sees it and everyone has a front row seat.
REVELATION 1:7 (NIV) Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all peoples on earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen.
Everyone sees it. I don’t even know how that works!?
Discussing the Jesus’ return and stuff in Revelation can get weird, confusing, contentious
I want to focus on the moment of his return, give you a vantage point
The Bible makes it clear that the Lord Jesus will return in glory
I want to focus on that single beautiful moment when our King returns to us.
Wait, beautiful? Rev 1:7 says everyone will mourn.?
I believe this will be a good and beautiful moment.
I hope by the end of this message you will be looking forward to it.
We will mourn, because we are the ones who pierced Him with our sin.
We will mourn because we will see how far short we have fallen from His perfect image.
But I believe we will also worship and rejoice
“THAT’S OUR KING!!!”  “HE’S BACK!!!”  “HALLELUJAH!!!”
PHILIPPIANS 2:9 (NIV) Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name,
PHILIPPIANS 2:10 (NIV) that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
PHILIPPIANS 2:11 (NIV) and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
When John the Revelator first sees Jesus he falls at His feet
Palm Sunday
Creation groans to be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.
It’s hard to call it a happy or a sad moment. It will be like nothing you have ever experienced.
At that moment everything changes.
And we will see Jesus, and He will be the most beautiful thing we ever see, nothing else compares
And everyone will have the same vantage point.
Job
Job will be there. “Every eye will see Him”
1 Thessalonians 4:16 (NIV) For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command,
