Renowned pastor John Piper examines end-time theology and Scripture's command to love Christ's second coming.

Many people are curious about the second coming of Christ: what it will be like, when it will happen and what signs will come first. In his latest book, Come, Lord Jesus, John Piper addresses all these issues, but emphasizes that those who love Christ's second coming will receive a "crown of righteousness" (2 Tim. 4:6-8). With a special focus on the teachings of Jesus, Paul and Peter, Come, Lord Jesus presents not only the glory of the revealed Savior, but also the glorification of the resurrected saints.

Piper examines key biblical texts on the second coming while encouraging readers to love Jesus' return with Spirit-awakened affection. He explores important questions such as: Could Jesus come at any time, or must certain events happen first; what does "Watch, for you know neither the day nor the hour" mean; and what should we be doing when He comes?
Come, Lord, Jesus provides readers with one:

Essential Christ-exalting eschatology: Piper guides Christians to examine whether they long for the coming of Christ and what this event will mean for Christians, for non-Christians and for Christ Himself.

Careful Exegesis: Piper pays special and precise attention to the words of Scripture, especially with a view to showing how Jesus and Paul were in agreement about the second coming.

Practical application: The last five chapters are devoted to how Christians should live in this era between the first and second coming of Christ.
