"THE PURPOSE OF HIS COMING"
(To prepare for His second coming.)

1. Let not your heart be troubled...
2. Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye here...
3. And they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with great glory.
II. HIS FIRST COMING WAS TO PREPARE US FOR HIS SECOND.
A. Not all will be allowed to enter into the Kingdom age.

3. His first coming was to take care of the sin issue. Text.
4. His second coming will be to complete our...
C. The three aspects of our change.
1. I was changed. "If any man be in..."
2. I am being changed. "And we with open..."
3. I shall be changed. "Beloved I show you..."
III. THE FIRST COMING WAS NECESSARY TO PREPARE FOR THE SECOND COMING.
A. Sin had to be dealt with.
B. The second coming is necessary to fulfill the first coming.
1. We do not yet see all His purposes fulfilled.
a. Not all walk in clear light of God.
b. Not all have the abundant life.
c. Not all Satan's works destroyed.
d. Not all the lost are saved.
"But now we see not yet all things put under Him, but we see Jesus."
