SCENES OF SALVATION: Restoration 
The final scene of salvation is far different than the scenes of last week. We are a far cry from the humble beginnings in a manger. Now we see Jesus in all of his glory, with all of his power, already the world’s redeemer, now he comes as the world’s restorer. The Kingdom of God is coming, the world is about to be put right, through Christ, in perfection and for all eternity. Straighten up, and raise your heads, Jesus is coming back!
