Jesus’ return is going to happen when his earthly redemption is complete. Jesus said, “I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” As the Church, Christians live their lives, commit talents and resources, and place their hope in Jesus’ redeeming work until that unknown day of his return.
