Sermon Concerning the Coming of our Savior

A stirring Reformation-era exposition of Christ's second coming and the apocalyptic signs that herald it. Drawing on Luke 21 — the gospel for the Second Sunday in Advent — this sermon urges believers to lift their heads in joyful expectation rather than tremble before the world's tumult. Far from a bleak forecast, the message reframes earthquakes, eclipses, and political upheaval as tokens of imminent redemption. Two appended catalogs of historical signs — wonders preceding Jerusalem's fall and the rise and decline of nations — anchor the doctrine in the witness of history.
