Many people today have questions about the second coming of Christ. They wonder how and when it will happen. But do they really long for Jesus’ presence and the glory of his return? This is what the apostle Paul said is evidence of true, spiritual dedication, which will be rewarded with “a crown of righteousness.”​—2 Tim. 4:8.

Answering common questions about the end times, John Piper examines the scriptural command to love the second coming. Drawing on the teachings of Jesus and Paul , Come, Lord Jesus paints a picture of the glory of the revealed Savior and His resurrected saints, helping Christians live in the present period between the first and second comings of Christ.

For a wide range of readers.
