Publisher's Summary

Bestselling Author John Piper Examines End-Times Theology and Scripture’s Command to Love the Second Coming of Christ

Many people are curious about the second coming of Christ—what it will be like, when it will happen, and what signs will come first. In his latest book, Come, Lord Jesus, John Piper addresses all these issues, but stresses that those who love the second coming of Christ will receive a crown of righteousness (2 Timothy 4:6-8).

Piper examines key biblical texts around the second coming while encouraging listeners toward a Spirit-awakened affection for Jesus’s return. He also explores important questions such as, Could Jesus come at any moment, or must certain events happen first?What does it mean to “Watch, for you know neither the day nor the hour”?; and What should we be doing when he comes? With a special focus on the teachings of Jesus, Paul, and Peter, Come, Lord Jesus portrays not only the glory of the revealed Savior, but also the glorification of the resurrected saints.

  • Essential, Christ-Exalting Eschatology: Piper guides Christians to examine whether they long for the appearing of Christ, and what this event will mean for Christians, non-Christians, and for Christ himself
  • Careful Exegesis: Piper pays close and precise attention to the words of Scripture, especially with a view to showing how Jesus and Paul were of one mind about the second coming
  • Practical: The final 5 chapters are devoted to how Christians should live in this age between the first and second appearing of Christ
  • Written by Bestselling Author John Piper: Author of Don’t Waste Your LifeDesiring God, and Providence

Waited for a book like this for a long time!

I have wanted to read a book that focuses solely on Christ's second coming without all the "Left Behind" theology mixed in. This book is a straightforward look at what Scripture says about Christ's return, including what things that must happen prior to His return and what Christ said about the timing of His return. Read it and treasure Christ and His Second Coming!

Scared but excited !

I see I need more patience and try to control less !!
Why do we have to wait so long ? My life seems forever even thou God says it’s but a moment.
If he would have came already I probably would be one of the lost.
I’m glad he has not come yet so me and many others have time to get ready. God wishes that none should perish!
Thank you father God for your gentleness and patience !!

Read to cultivate a heart of love for Christ

A must read for those not only interested in knowing more about and understanding the second coming, but for those who desire to cultivate a heart that longs for Christ and his second coming.

disappointing narration

Narration was too emotionless to do the content justice. The coming of Christ should illicit a positive emotional response, which felt lacking in the narration.

Come Lord Jesus

Discovered the book to be dry and somewhat boring. Seem to-be all scripture readings.

Great coverage of the return of Christ

Thorough investigation of the end time teaching in the New Testament. It was very encouraging book.
