Death is only the beginning
The cross was the preliminary visit of Jesus. An intro. The gripping thesis statement that jumps off the page. The teaser and the trailer for the epic event to come. The second coming of Jesus. My goal is not to devalue his first coming.
His first coming rocked the cerebellum of every human who was fortunate enough to be in his presence. Our mental fabric torn asunder by the deep mysteries of God he spoke. His life still holds a ripple effect to the tune of billions of people who have called on his name and forever serve him as Lord! That's magical folks! So let's not underestimate the power of his first coming. In my next article I'll get to the importance of the second coming of God in Jesus Christ.
