Overview
Christ's return is central to Christian faith and hope. Jesus promised His disciples that He would come again, and the New Testament consistently emphasizes this future event as the culmination of God's redemptive plan. Believers eagerly await His return, which will bring judgment, resurrection, and the establishment of God's eternal kingdom.
