The one who is to come.

 Amen. "The One who is to come" is a declaration of hope and anticipation—the recognition that Jesus Christ is not only the One who came and the One who is with us now, but the One who will come again in glory. It is the confident expectation of every believer, the promise that anchors our souls, and the cry of the early church: "Come, Lord Jesus!"

📖 The Scriptural Foundation

"He who testifies to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming soon.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus." (Revelation 22:20)

"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first." (1 Thessalonians 4:16)

"Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all peoples on earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen." (Revelation 1:7)

"But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ." (Philippians 3:20)

"So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him." (Hebrews 9:28)

You are with us now by Your Spirit.

And You will come again in glory.

We wait for You with hope.

We long for Your return.

We eagerly await the day when every eye will see You,

When every knee will bow,

And every tongue will confess that You are Lord.

Come, Lord Jesus.

Come and make all things new.

Come and wipe away every tear.

Come and establish Your kingdom forever.

Amen.
