LW Baptist

The theme for LW Baptist’s Sunday worship service on Nov. 21 at 10 a.m. is “Jesus is Coming Again,” and it begins with Andrae Crouch’s gospel song “Soon and Very Soon We are Going to See the King.”

When Jesus left this earth, he promised to return. But nearly two millennia have passed. Why does Christ seem to delay his coming? He addressed this question in Luke 19. The Scriptures (Psalm 68, 110; Daniel 7) had prophesied that the Messiah would ascend into heaven, sit at the right hand of the majesty on high, receive from him an everlasting kingdom, and all dominion and people would worship and obey him. Meanwhile, he would give his servants on Earth responsibilities in his absence.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some think. He is patient with this sin-filled world and does not want anyone to perish, but to come to repentance. His offer of mercy still holds. At his coming, all will all give account to him.
