RCCG YAYA SUNDAY SCHOOL YOUTH 28 JULY 2024 (LESSON 48)
TOPIC: THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
MEMORY VERSE
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. John 14:3.
INTRODUCTION
Acts 1:10-11 describes the ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ as being personal, bodily and visible with power. The second coming of our Lord will be in like manner.
However, it will be in two phases. The first phase, regarded as the rapture (IThessalonians 4:15-17), will be the coming of the Lord for His saints.

1. PROPHECIES AND PURPOSE OF HIS SECOND COMING
The first coming of our Lord Jesus Christ was prophesied and those prophecies came to pass, literally (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6). This gives us great confidence that the prophecies of the Second Advent will also be fulfilled literally.
His second coming was foretold in Daniel 7:13-14.
Jesus, Himself said it (Matthew 25:31).
He is coming to fulfil the following purposes:
At the first phase (rapture), there will be the completion of the salvation of the saints (Hebrews 9:28).
Christ will bring to light the hidden things of darkness (1 Corinthians 4:5) and receive us to be with Him (John 14:3).
At the second phase (the revelation), He will be glorified in His saints (2 Thessalonians 1:7-10), execute judgement, as a conquering king (2 Timothy 4:1).
He will reign majestically (Revelation 11:15) and destroy death (1 Corinthians 15:25-26).

He will come in His glory accompanied by His angels (Matthew 25:31) with His saints (1 Thessalonians 3:13),

CONCLUSION: RCCG YAYA Sunday School Youth 28 July 2024
