The Last Day: A Day of Terror for All Those Who Troubled God’s People

First Reading: Malachi 4;1-6. On the Last Day, those who opposed God will be laid low, but all God’s people will be healed.

Second Reading: 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10. God promises that on the Last Day, all those who troubled his hold people will themselves be eternally troubled.

Gospel: Luke 21:5-19 Jesus tells us what the world will be like for believers before the Last Day.

Sermon Text: 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10. God’s Righteous Verdict Will Be Revealed.

For us who are troubled by sin, by unbelief, by persecution, by just the sufferings of this world that is still a sinful place, the waiting for relief is sometimes difficult and painful.

We are waiting for glory, for Jesus return. We are waiting for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to return and to give us a righteous verdict, to declare us not guilty because of his work and so Heaven is our Home, our Eternal Home.
