Longing For His Appearing Pt. 5

In today's message, Derek Prince emphasizes the importance of longing for Christ's appearing, presenting a fourth reason that may surprise many: the redemption of creation. He explains that the fall of man brought futility to the world, as described in Genesis 3:17-19, where God cursed the ground due to Adam's disobedience. This futility affects not only humanity but all of creation, which eagerly awaits the revelation of the sons of God as stated in Romans 8:18-23, highlighting that the redemption of mankind is intrinsically linked to the redemption of the earth itself.

Prince further illustrates this longing through the imagery found in Psalms, where creation itself anticipates the return of the Lord to judge the earth in righteousness (Psalm 96:11-13; Psalm 98:7-9). He challenges listeners to reflect on whether nature is more eager for redemption than the church, urging believers to awaken their hearts and align their desires with the creation's anticipation of Christ's glorious return. As the week concludes, Prince encourages Christians to actively participate in this longing, recognizing the profound connection between their redemption and the restoration of all creation.
