RCCG YAYA Sunday School Students Manual 28 July 2024 Lesson 48 – The Second Coming Of Christ

TOPIC: The Second Coming Of Christ (RCCG Sunday School Manual For Young Adults And Youths (YAYA)

MEMORY VERSE: “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” – John 14:3 (KJV)
(KJV)

BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (KJV) (Scroll down for RCCG Sunday School 28 July 2024 HYMN)

13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

INTRODUCTION: Acts 1:10-11 describes the ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ as being personal, bodily, and visible with power. The second coming of our Lord will be in like manner. However, it will be in two phases. The first phase, regarded as the rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17), will be the coming of the Lord for His saints. While the second phase will be the coming of the Lord with His saints, to set up the millennium (1 Thessalonians 3:13). Between the first phase and the second phase of the second coming of Christ is the period of the great tribulation.

LESSON OUTLINES:

  1. PROPHECIES AND PURPOSE OF HIS SECOND COMING
  2. THE MANNER OF HIS COMING

1. PROPHECIES AND PURPOSE OF HIS SECOND COMING

The first coming of our Lord Jesus Christ was prophesied and those prophecies came to pass, literally (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6). This gives us great confidence that the prophecies of the Second Advent will also be fulfilled literally. His second coming was foretold in Daniel 7:13-14. Jesus, Himself said it (Matthew 25:31).

He is coming to fulfil the following purposes:

At the first phase (rapture), there will be the completion of the salvation of the saints (Hebrews 9:28). Christ will bring to light the hidden things of darkness (1Corinthians 4:5) and receive us to be with Him (John 14:3). At the second phase (the revelation), He will be glorified in His saints (2Thess.1:7-10), execute judgement, as a conquering king (2 Timothy 4:1). He will reign majestically (Revelation 11:15) and destroy death (1Corinthians 15:25-26).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1: Why do you think some people still do not believe that Christ is coming again despite all available prophecies?

2. THE MANNER OF HIS COMING

The following should be noted about the manner of His second coming: at the first phase (the rapture), He will descend from Heaven with a shout and voice of the archangel (1 Thessalonians 4:16), suddenly (1Corinthians 15:52), in the glory of His Father (Matthew 16:27), the saints will meet Him in the air and be with Him forever (1 Thessalonians 4:17). At the second phase (the revelation), He will come in the clouds to the earth with power and great glory (Matthew 24:30), he will come in His glory accompanied by His angels (Matthew 25:31) with His saints (1 Thessalonians 3:13), in flaming fire (2 Thessalonians 1:8) and bodily, as He ascended (Acts.1:9-11).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2: What are some of the signs you can see around you which indicate that Christ’s coming is imminent?

CONCLUSION: Do not be deceived, Christ’s coming is certain (2 Peter 3:9-10). While we ought to plan and work as if He will not be coming for another century, we must live a holy and pure life all the time as if He will return today. Watch and Pray.

QUESTIONS:

  1. What are the purposes for Christ’s second coming?
  2. Mention four manners of Christ’s second coming.

FURTHER READING:

Sunday: Matthew 24:44 (KJV)
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Monday: 2 Peter 3: 3-12 (KJV)
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

Tuesday: Revelation 22:20 (KJV)
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Wednesday: Luke 13:3 (KJV)
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Thursday: Matthew 25:13 (KJV)
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Friday: 1 Timothy 1:14 (KJV)
And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Saturday: 2 Timothy 2:19 (KJV)
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

ASSIGNMENT: Mention five (5) things that can hinder a believer from being raptured (2×5=10 Marks).
