The sermon is from 2 Thessalonians 1:5-12 – “The Kindness and Severity of God”. ““… when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven …” – 2 Thessalonians 1:7

What is your favorite doctrine in the Bible? We should place equal value, of course, upon every doctrine that is revealed in the Word of God. But for the sake of discussion, what doctrine really captures your attention? The Apostle Paul, in his letters to the Thessalonians, devotes much of his attention to the doctrine of the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ. Over 20% of the verses in 1 Thessalonians are allotted to this teaching about our Lord’s return and over 40% of the verses in 2 Thessalonians are dedicated to this same concern. He calls it in another place “… our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.” (Titus 2:13)

A great hymn states concerning believers on that great day, “Dressed in His righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne.” Come quickly, Lord Jesus (Revelation 22:20).
