TEXT: Acts 1:1-11

[1]The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

[2]Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:

[3]To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

[4]And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

[5]For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

[6]When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

[7]And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

[8]But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

[9]And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

[10]And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

[11]Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

MEMORY VERSE:1 THESSALONIANS 3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in Holiness before God, even our father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

LESSON AIM: To let the children know about the second coming of Christ

INTRODUCTION: The disciples of Jesus asked him about restoring the kingdom again to Isi but he replied that they will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon them. After that he was taken up to heaven. They were looking up to heaven as Jesus was going up then suddenly two men appeared in white telling them Jesus will come back in the same way they have seen him gone into heaven.

A. WHAT IS SECOND COMING – Matt. 24:21-22

1. The second coming is the term used to refer to the future events when Jesus return to earth, conquer His enemies and reign as king of this world.

2. Expected return to earth of Jesus Christ, sometimes called second Advent.

B. WHY IS JESUS COMING BACK- John 14:3, 1 Cor 15:25-26

2. To judge His enemies

3. To reward the faithful

4. To receive the saints to himself

5. To destroy death.

C. STAGES OF HIS COMING

1. The rapture(catching away)

2. When the LORD comes with His saints to set up the millennium -1 Thess 4:16-17

HOW CAN WE GET READY FOR JESUS SECOND COMING?

i. Be sober and vigilant. 1 Peter 5:8

ii. Be expectant. Luke 19:27

iii. Be spirit filled. Ephesians 5:18

iv. Living a righteous life. Titus 2:11-13

v. Be prayerful. 1 Peter 4:7, Matthew 26:41

vi. Have faith in God. 1 Peter 1:5

vii. Guard your salvation. Philippians. 2:12

E. SIGNS OF HIS COMING

1. The signs of our physical world. Matt 24:7, Luke 21:11

2. The decadence in our society. Matthew 24:12, 2 Timothy 3:1-5

4. Increase in knowledge: Daniel 12:4

Beyond any doubt the Second coming of Jesus is certain and earnest, because the bible talks about it, Jesus Himself said it, the angel of the Lord confirmed it to the disciples, its therefore dangerous to think or be deceived that Jesus won’t come again, everyone of us is therefore encouraged to live in preparedness of Jesus coming every moment of our life, as nobody knows how soon he will return again.

INVITATION: To be prepared for the second coming of Christ, you must accept Jesus.

LIFE APPLICATION: Live a holy and righteous life and be ever ready for the rapture of the saints.
