The Second Advent

by Alistair Begg

Mark 13:32–37
 (ID: 3706)

We are living today between two advents: We look back on the first advent, the incarnation of Christ who came in humility to seek and save the lost; and we look forward to the second advent, when, in fulfillment of God’s promises, Jesus will return in glorious triumph and majesty to execute judgment and reign forever over all. Looking to Jesus’ words in Mark 13, Alistair Begg considers what Scripture reveals about Christ’s return and how we are to trust God’s promises and prepare for that day.
