Headline Event

Read: John 13:33-14:3

Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him. —Revelation 1:7

Bible In One Year: 1 Chronicles 10-12; John 6:45-71


Did you know that the largest type used by most newspapers for headlines of astounding events has been called "second coming" type? These heavy, black letters are reserved for only the most amazing front-page news stories. This dramatic type has been used to announce the beginning and end of wars, moon landings, presidential election winners, natural disasters, and other significant events.

One day mankind will witness the great event for which the "second coming" type was named—the return of Jesus Christ. And what a day that will be! The One who ascended to heaven long ago will return to this earth. When our Lord comes back, it will be such a phenomenal occurrence that it will command worldwide attention.

The day Jesus told His disciples that He would be leaving them, Peter was filled with questions (John 13:36-37). Jesus didn't explain when He would return, but He reassured His disciples that He was going to prepare a place for them and one day "come again" (14:2-3).

When the Savior comes back, His return will command the attention of all earth's inhabitants. It will be a headline event! —Dave Egner

When Christ the Lord returns to reign,
The world will know of that event,
For everyone shall see His face
And know the reason He was sent. —Hess

Even so, come, Lord Jesus! —Revelation 22:20
