When the Son of Man Comes

Song: When We All Get To Heaven

Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46

"When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on th throne of His glory" (Matthew 25:31; NKJV).

Jesus came the first time for salvation: "...for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost" (Luke 19:10; NKJV).

He is coming again in judgment: "...when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ" (2 Thessalonians 1:7-8; NKJV).

For those who obey the gospel of Christ and receive His salvation He is coming as a Savior. For those who reject the knowlege of God and fail to obey He is coming as Judge. Will He be your Savior or your Judge? Will you hear Him say, "Come" (Matthew 25:34), or "Depart" (Matthew 25:41)? Will you "inherit the kingdom" (Matthew 25:34) or will you "go away into everlasting punishment" (Matthew 25:46)?
