Unstoppable: The Book of Acts: Behold He Comes - Pastor Ben Hodges

Acts 1:6-11Jesus never breaks a promise.- “I will build my church.” Matthew 16:13- “I will rise again.” Luke 18:31-33- “I will come back to you.” John 14:1-3His promises are for anyone who will listen, anyone who will follow.- Not just theologians and scholars or super-Christians.- For everyone who longs for hope, a better world, justice, family, and home.Jesus Is Coming Again—Visibly, Personally, and Powerfully- “This Jesus... will come in the same way.” This isn’t a metaphor. It’s not a spiritual idea. It’s real.1 Thessalonians 4:16–18Revelation 1:7Why does this matter to you?o You will see Him either as Savior or as Judgeo He came the first time as a humble babe in a manger. He is returning as a triumphal King to once and for all judge the whole world – including you and your children.His Return Will Be Happen - Sure, Sudden, and Final- “When will this happen?” The Bible doesn’t give us a date - but it gives us a warning:2 Peter 3:10Matthew 24:36-44“Why so long?” Jesus is not waiting on a political party, an economic trend, or globalpeace. He’s waiting for one thing: for more people to repent.2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is patient… not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.o God’s is not delayed because he is absent or unconcerned - it’s His mercy.o When He comes the second time, there are no second chances.He Is Returning to Complete His Work – to Gather, to Judge, and to Save- When Christ returns, He will come in unimaginable power and unavoidable glory.o Every knee will bow (Philippians 2:10).o Every heart will be exposed (Romans 2:16).o Eternal destinies will be sealed (Revelation 20:11–15).Revelation 22:12Matthew 7:21-23Here is the good news:o You don’t have to face Him with fear.o You can face Him with faith—if you respond now, while you have breath.- Jesus came the first time as a Lamb to take away your sin.- He is coming again as a Lion to rule and reign.- You can trust your own efforts, you can hope He grades on a curve, you can distract yourself and put this off… or you can get really saved.Acts 17:30–31Acts 3:19Acts 2:21“Jesus, I believe You died for me and rose again. I confess my need of a Savior. I am a sinner. I turn away from my sin and receive your forgiveness. I want to be ready for Your return. Come into my life and save me. Make me new. I trust in You alone. Amen.”
