Sermon for the Third Last Sunday of the Church Year, AD 2025
Nov 9, 2025 • Rev. Christopher Antonetti
It is very easy for people to live their lives as if there is not a Second Coming. Things that are far away are easy to put out of one’s mind. That is why when tragedies happen in our sinful world, Jesus wants us to pull back our thoughts to repentance and faith. He wants us to consider the end, and our end.
Even if we will not all live to the second coming of Christ, it is destined for every man to die, and then the judgment. As Paul explains to the Thessalonians in the epistle reading, even those who have died before Christ’s return will on the last day be awakened for it. So the second coming of Christ is something that involves every person of every time and place.
