Please consider the following:
In this message, Elder Gary Petty points out that disciples were confused about the Messiah's return and resurrection. Scriptures revealed that the Messiah’s mission was to establish the Kingdom of God. So why didn’t He? Christ spent time teaching the disciples, yet they were still unclear why there was a delay.
This is the question that Gary attempts to answer. He starts by setting a framework for us to consider. He points out a continuity between the first and second coming of Jesus Christ. Understanding these two events is important for us to understand God's Plan of Salvation. God’s plan reveals a carefully planned process, that is being executed with military-like precision.
To bring order from the chaos that started at the Garden of Eden, Christ had to first establish a footprint behind enemy lines. He had to prepare a people before the Kingdom was to be established. Our Messiah came the first time to initiate steps in God's plan of Salvation, and He will return to execute the completion God's plan of Salvation.
Points of Discussion:
1. What are the three reasons why Jesus comes twice?
2. Why are they important?
3. How are each initiated in the first coming, and completed at His second coming?
4. How do they help to fulfill Gods Plan of salvation?
