Acts 1:11b (NIV) Jesus has been taken from you into heaven, but someday He will return from heaven in the same way you saw Him go!
This is our first promise of a literal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth someday. Though we live 2000 years later, the Holy Spirit continues to assure our hearts that Jesus will return (“The Second Coming”) to rule and reign in righteousness and bring true justice to the world. The kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ. This is our “blessed hope” and it holds us steady throughout life’s injustices. In the meantime, we point people to Jesus, the righteous judge (II Tim. 4:8) and our “blessed hope.”
