Good Morning,
Our Scripture reading today is Luke 1:31-33.
Verse 33, "And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end."
The first time the Lord Jesus came to live amongst us was not to be a ruler of any kind. His sole purpose was the cross. He was born to die. He will, however, have a different purpose when His feet touch this earthly soil again at the Mount of Olives. Our reading today tells us Christ has a kingdom and a throne that shall never end. The prophet Samuel told King David of this future kingdom that would come from David's bowels. (See 2 Samuel 7:12-16)
There will be no need for a manger and a stable the next time He comes. He will have his transportation cared for by a white horse. He will come again as the conquering King. All those who have turned to Jesus Christ for salvation prior to the rapture will be following behind Him. A completely different series of events than the scene at Bethlehem. Rejoice as a believer! Our King is coming sooon.
Your friend,
Pastor
