Jesus spent much of His ministry teaching His disciples about their ultimate future new location\\u2014the kingdom to come and their eternal citizenship in it. Our hope in the hereafter has practical application in the here and now. The Lord\\u2019s promised return is the Christian\\u2019s \\u201cBlessed Hope\\u201d (Titus2:13). The point of the Bible\\u2019s teaching on the second coming of Christ is not how to find that great day, but how that great day will find us. That day is going to be so glorious that 1 John 3:1-3 says that for anyone to hope for it (not to get there, but just to want it) will transform their lives.
