Yes, the world very quickly misunderstands us because we are a distinctive people.<br />

Even as Jesus was ostracized we in measure, are always misunderstood and<br />

persecuted-<br />

1 John 3:13 -<br />

3. OUR DESTINY IS FIXED.<br />

John tells us something <strong>of</strong> what the future holds in store for the child <strong>of</strong> God.<br />

1 John 3:2 -<br />

Notice how he progressively unfolds the truth.<br />

1. The Lord Jesus is coming again.<br />

John speaks <strong>of</strong> the time ‘when He shall appear’. He refers to the Christian’s ‘blessed<br />

hope’.<br />

1 John 3:2 -<br />

Titus 2:13 -<br />

If you read your Bible carefully, you will notice that all the signs <strong>of</strong> the times -<br />

religious, Jewish, commercial, etc. - point to the fact that the coming <strong>of</strong> the Lord must<br />

be very near indeed.<br />

James 5:8 -<br />

2. When He comes we shall see Him as He is.<br />

John tells us this -<br />

1 John 3:2 -<br />

What a wonderful thing it will be to see the Man Christ Jesus, the One Who came and<br />

lived and died for us, Who rose again and is ascended now in the place <strong>of</strong> glory and<br />

<strong>of</strong> majesty at the right hand <strong>of</strong> the Father!<br />

1 Peter 3:22 -<br />

He first came in weakness, but when He comes the second time He will come in<br />

power and great glory! We shall see Him -<br />

Revelation 1:7 -<br />

c. When we see Him we shall be like Him.<br />
