Looking for him

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. (Hebrews 9:28) *1/ They looked for his first coming. 2/ We looked for him to save us. 3/ We look for him to come and take us home to glory.* *Service taken at Milward House Pilgrim home in the lounge with about 15 aged pilgrims present.* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon centers on the biblical call to 'look for Him,' exploring three dimensions of this expectation: the Old Testament saints who anticipated Christ's first coming through faith, prophecy, and types; the personal, ongoing journey of seeking Christ for salvation in the present life; and the hope of His second coming, which shapes the believer's eternal perspective. Drawing from Luke's account of Mary's encounter with Gabriel and Elizabeth's prophetic blessing, it emphasizes God's faithfulness in fulfilling promises across generations. The message underscores that true faith is marked by a continual seeking—both in the past, as the patriarchs and prophets looked forward, and in the present, as individuals turn to Christ through Scripture and prayer, and in the future, as believers long for His return and eternal home. The tone is both pastoral and urgent, calling listeners to examine their hearts and live with the conviction that their ultimate hope is not of this world, but of heaven.
