Someday Jesus will return as a mighty king looking to defeat sin and evil once and for all preparing for His final judgment of all things. Will you be ready by putting your faith in him?
Talking Points:
- Jesus will return as a mighty king prepared for battle. The first time He faced a cross; the next time he will wear a crown. Revelation 19:11-14
- On that day Jesus will be victorious in battle, destroying Satan and His enemies. Then we will see the extermination of all evil as we know it. Revelation 19:17-21; 20:1-10
- Jesus will righteously judge one last time. Only those who have trusted Jesus will be saved on that day. Revelation 20:11-15, John 5:24, Colossians 2:13-15
Discussion:
- Initial reactions to this topic? What jumped out at you?
- What were you taught when you were younger, if anything, about the second coming of Christ?
- Talk about some of the imagery from Revelation 19:11-14. How is this picture of Jesus different from the Jesus we see in the gospels?
- Review some of the characters from the book of Revelation. Who are the dragon and the two beasts? What happens to them at the end of the story?
- Read Revelation 20:11. Is it offensive to you that Jesus is coming to judge the world? Why or why not?
- Read John 5:24. Is your name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life? If you not sure, talk about saving faith with your group or mentor.
