Titus 2:11-134
11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.

*The New King James Version (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1982), Tt 2:11–14.

Why does Paul instruct to look for Jesus’ appearing? Why should we look at this event as hopeful and glorious? It is implied that this will be visible, Is this the event that Jesus spoke of in Luke 17:24 that would be a clear and unmistakable event just like the event of lightning flashing across the sky? Let’s look at all these questions to better understand this “glorious appearing” of Jesus Christ.
