Youth Sermon: Earth’s Best Days

The Ultimate Hero's Epic Comeback

Have you ever watched a movie where the hero makes an epic comeback? Well, guess what? We're part of a story where the ultimate hero, Jesus, is going to make the most epic comeback ever. And the best part? We get to be part of it. Let's check out Revelation 19 and 20 to see what's up.

After an event called the Tribulation, Jesus is going to return and rule for 1,000 years. And those days are going to be off the charts!

We're part of a story where the ultimate hero, Jesus, is going to make the most epic comeback ever.

What's Going to Happen?

An archangel is going to call us to meet Jesus in the clouds. Imagine that, like the coolest VIP invitation ever!

Birds will be called to clean up after a big battle. Kind of gross, but hey, nature's cleanup crew, right?

The bad guys, the Antichrist and the False Prophet, they're going into a lake of fire. Game over for them.

Jesus is going to wipe out the Antichrist's armies just by speaking. Talk about power!

Again, birds will clean up. They've got a busy day.

Satan, the ultimate bad guy, he's getting locked up.

We get to rule with Jesus for 1,000 years. How cool is that?

Jerusalem is going to be the place to be, the center of worship.

Every year, we'll take a trip to Jerusalem. Road trip!

Satan gets out, tries to start trouble again, but Jesus throws him into the lake of fire. Bye, Satan!

Then comes the Great White Throne Judgment and the New Creation.

Bringing it Home

Imagine you're playing a video game. You're on the final level, the boss fight. It's tough, right? But you know that once you beat this level, you've won the game. That's kind of like our lives. We're in the tough level now, but Jesus has promised us that the best is yet to come.

So, let's stay faithful, keep our eyes on the prize, and look forward to the incredible days ahead. And if you're not part of Jesus' team yet, it's never too late. Just ask Him to be your Lord and Savior. He's ready to help you through every level of this game called life.

Jesus has promised us that the best is yet to come.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, thank you for the promise of the best days ahead. Help us to stay faithful and focused on You. For those of us who haven't made that decision yet, give us the courage to choose You today. Amen.
