LIVE LIKE HE’S COMING BACK TONIGHT | The Rapture & Our Blessed Hope
In this powerful Bible class, Pastor Robert R. McLaughlin takes us into the doctrine of the Rapture, the Tribulation, the Second Advent, and the prophetic events still ahead for the human race.
The Rapture of the Church is presented not as something for the believer to fear, but as our “blessed hope” — our happy guarantee. The Church is waiting for Jesus Christ, and because the Rapture is imminent, it can occur at any moment.
Pastor challenges us with an important question:
What do we have to lose by living as though Jesus Christ could return tonight?
Rather than becoming distracted by materialism, fear, human viewpoint, or the things of this temporary world, the believer is called to live with eternity in view — growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and remaining occupied with Him.
In this message, we examine:
The imminency of the Rapture
The difference between the Rapture and the Second Advent
The coming Tribulation period
Why the Church will be delivered from the wrath to come
The believer’s “blessed hope”
Prophecy and the signs of the times
Why believers should live with anticipation rather than fear
The importance of studying and rightly dividing the Word of Truth
Pastor reminds us that whether the Rapture happens in our lifetime or not, we lose nothing by living for Christ as though He were coming back tonight.
And most importantly, the message closes with the Gospel: salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ — not by works. Christ paid for our sins, and eternal life is offered freely to anyone who believes in Him.
“Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.” — Titus 2:13
