Contributed by Chris Hill on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe the children meet Mr & Mrs Beaver. They tell the children about prophecies concerning Aslan and sons of Adam and daughters of Eve. This is used to introduce OT prophecies conerning the birth of Christ
1. Jesus is Coming Again
And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was departing, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them; [11] and they also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven."
Acts 1:10-11 (NAS)
2. He Will Come in Glory
Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. And the one sitting on the horse was named Faithful and True. For he judges fairly and then goes to war. [12] His eyes were bright like flames of fire, and on his head were many crowns. A name was written on him, and only he knew what it meant. [13] He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and his title was the Word of God. [14] The armies of heaven, dressed in pure white linen, followed him on white horses. [15] From his mouth came a sharp sword, and with it he struck down the nations. He ruled them with an iron rod, and he trod the winepress of the fierce wrath of almighty God. [16] On his robe and thigh was written this title: King of kings and Lord of lords. Rev. 19:11-16 (NLT)
3. Everyone Will Pay Him Homage
Isaiah 45:22-23
"Turn to me and be saved,
all you ends of the earth;
for I am God, and there is no other.
[23] By myself I have sworn,
my mouth has uttered in all integrity
a word that will not be revoked:
Before me every knee will bow;
by me every tongue will swear.
Philip. 2:9-11 (NIV)
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
[10] that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
[11] and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Concl.
So how do we live?
Jesus says, “You must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected." Luke 12:40 (NLT)
The message paraphrase puts it this way . . .
So don’t you be slovenly and careless. Just when you don’t expect him, the Son of Man will show up."
Because you see Jesus also said, in Rev. 22:20 (NLT)
"Yes, I am coming soon!"
And our response should be
Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!
