The Day Of Christ (Poem)

The Day Of Christ

The day of Christ is coming - we pray that it won’t be too far away.
There’s a hope and a rejoicing as we think upon that day.
A day of accountability - a day of reckoning or reward;
Can we say, in light of His return, that we have lived sold-out for our Lord?

In the day of Christ, we will find many of God’s promises are fulfilled;
Glorified and in Jesus’s presence - will your soul say that it is thrilled?
First, the rapture to take us to Heaven; what a reunion to behold,
When we get our first glimpse of the New Jerusalem and walk the streets of gold.

Then, at the Judgement Seat of Christ, we will reap what we have sown.
Will it be a time of sorrow or of gladness when we stand before His throne?
Seven years of blissfulness, then the marriage supper of the Lamb -
Are you excited and hopeful for the future, to be with the Great I Am?

We are confident of this very thing: that Jesus will continue the work that He began.
We can trust our all to the Saviour, knowing He will finish what He has planned.
On the day of Christ, there’s a joy to which earthly splendour cannot compare:
There’s a crown of rejoicing that awaits us - reuniting with our saved loved ones in the air.

Are you ready for the day of Christ?

Seven times the Day of Christ is mentioned in the Bible. These verses are prophecies about what the church will be doing in Heaven while the day of the Lord unfolds on earth.

1 Corinthians 1:4-8 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 5:3-5 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

2 Corinthians 1:13-14 For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end; As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Philippians 1:9-11 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

Philippians 2:14-16 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

2 Thessalonians 2:2-3 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

2 Thessalonians 2:3 also refers to that day, but it is not specifically named. Seven is God’s number of perfection/completion, and eight is associated with the Lord Jesus Christ and new beginnings.
