   1. BOTH WERE FORETOLD
   2. BOTH REVEAL GOD’S HEART
   3. BOTH INVOLVE ANGELS
      • First coming: Angels announce His birth (Luke 2:13–14)
      • Second coming: Angels accompany Him (Matthew 25:31)
   4. BOTH BRING PEACE — BUT IN DIFFERENT WAYS
      • First coming: Salvation (Romans 5:1)
      • Second coming: Removal of Evil (2 Thessalonians 2:8; 15-17)
   5. BOTH DEMAND A RESPONSE
      • First coming: “Will you receive Him?”
      • Second coming: “Will you be ready for Him?”

WHAT IS GOD SAYING TO US? – WHAT IS THE MESSAGE?

• The same people who missed His first coming still miss Him today
• Prophecy is not given for information but transformation
• The first coming invites you to salvation; the second coming calls you to holiness
• The manger and the throne belong to the same Jesus

Your response to His first coming determines your destiny at His second coming!
