But the angel said to them," Do not be afraid, for look, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Luke 2:10
When Jesus came the first time,
He came wrapped in swaddling clothes.
When Jesus comes again,
He'll be dressed in the vestments of victory.
When He came the first time,
There was no room in the end.
When He comes again,
The world will be His domain.
He came the first time as King of the Jews.
He will come again as King of kings and
Lord of lords.
He came the first time to be crucified.
He will come again to be glorified.
He came the first time as the Author of salvation,
He will come again as the Finisher of our faith.
He came the first time with a baby's cry.
When He comes again,
It will be with the roar of the tribe of Judah.
His first coming was known to shepherds,
a handful of wise men and a
few residents of Bethlehem.
When he comes again it will be
lightning flashing east to west,
He will come in the clouds of glory,
and the entire universe will know.
When He came to Bethlehem, the angels sang,
"Glory to God in the highest".
When He comes again, they will sing
The kingdoms of this world have become the
kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ and
He shall reign forever and ever".
