C. S. Lewis identified three reasons why people don’t want to believe in the return of Christ.
First, they claim that Jesus’ return did not take place as the early Church hoped—so it must be a myth. This argument is not new; in his second letter the apostle Peter put it this way: “In the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, ‘Where is this “coming” he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation’” (2 Peter 3:3–4 NIV).Second, if we believe humanity is constantly progressing, we will never see the need for the return of Christ. Why do we need Christ to come back if we can reach perfection on our own?Third, the teaching of Christ’s return cuts across the plans and dreams of millions of people. They want to eat, drink, and be merry, and Christ’s return would interrupt what they are doing—and they don’t want that.
But Jesus will return despite these denials. Are you ready?
