To Be a Christian: The Anglican Catechism in a Year

Today is day 76 and we are in the section on the Second Article of the Apostles' Creed on Jesus Christ the Son of God. Today we are on the twelfth line: “He will come again to judge the living and the dead” and studying question 76. 76. What does the Creed mean when it says, “He will come again”? Jesus promised that he would return (Luke 21:27–28). His coming in victory with great glory and power will be seen by all people and will bring this age to an end. The present world order will pass away, and God will usher in a fully renewed creation to stand forever. All the saints will be together with God at that time. (Proverbs 30:4; Daniel 7:13–14; Luke 21:27–28; Acts 1:10–11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18; 2 Peter 3:3–13; Revelation 21:1–4) We will conclude today with the Collect for the First Sunday of Advent found on page 598 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Today we are on the ninth line: “On the third day He rose again” and studying question 69. 69. What does the Creed mean when it affirms that Jesus rose again from the dead?
