<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: Jesus is here giving lessons and warnings concerning His second coming.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. HE GIVES TO US A NEW CONCEPT OF LIFE.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Every man's life governed by some concept.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Success, wealth, pleasure.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. We move toward these goals.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. We describe life - as a race, fight, ball, voyage.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. The goal is always in mind as we look at the immediate.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. This created my attitude toward any given situation.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. As a Christian my concept "looking for my Lord."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Life does not end at death but at my Lord's return for me.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The boundaries - of my life changed.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Life began when I yielded to Jesus, it will end when He returns for me.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. "To me - to live is Christ."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Our goal is always at hand, it could be now.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. We have subgoals toward which we move.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. Graduation, degree.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">2. Marriage, getting a home.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. They are always over-shadowed by greater hope.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">4. Thus, I am never mastered by fear.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. I can look at world chaos without getting drunk.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. I can face the economic crisis without panic.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">5. It means my life is never disturbed, because I am always expecting it to be disturbed.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. The man who seeks never to be disturbed is the man who is always disturbed.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">6. It means I am never disappointed.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Should some immediate goal fail to materialize my Lord governs my life.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. He knows what is best and He is coming soon.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">7. Jesus spent 40 days teaching this concept.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. They never knew when to expect Him.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. A MAN'S CHARACTER IS CREATED BY HIS CONCEPT OF LIFE. WHAT KIND OF CHARACTER IS CREATED BY THIS CONCEPT?</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Cheerful.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. My Lord is coming for me and He loves me.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The day you see me going around sad or despondent, I have forgotten for a moment. Remind me please.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Diligent.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. If I realize that this may be my last opportunity to speak to you, that I may now be interrupted by His return.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. I shall desire to be more careful how I teach.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Hoping that I have thoroughly represented His truth.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. If you realize that your business transactions may be interrupted by His return, desire to be honest.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. We seek to make better use of our time.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. A big job to be done.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. It gives a sense of urgency to all I do.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">4. We are as servants girded about, our lights burning.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Much to be done I want to be busy doing it when my Lord appears.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. Fearless - no fear of death, looking for our Lord.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. "BEHOLD I COME QUICKLY, EVEN SO COME QUICKLY LORD, JESUS."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Any ambition or project that would cause me to respond by saying wait a little longer is wrong.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. So also is the setting of any dates.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. You may have figured it out accurately that He is coming November 20th. Please don't tell me, I would be disappointed because I'm expecting Him today.</div>
