In his latest book, \u003cem\u003eCome, Lord Jesus\u003c\/em\u003e, John Piper addresses all these issues, but stresses that those who \u003cem\u003elove\u003c\/em\u003e the second coming of Christ will receive a crown of righteousness (2 Timothy 4:6–8).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePiper examines key biblical texts around the second coming while encouraging readers toward a Spirit-awakened affection for Jesus’s return.

We are stirred to love Jesus’s appearing and to live now in light of the last day, in light of the return of the King. Certainly there are disagreements about the end times, but no one will be able to dispute that Piper argues carefully and extensively from the Scriptures. I found this book to be fuel for the mind and the heart, one that is full of biblical and practical wisdom.”\u003cbr\u003e—Thomas R.

More than that, he stokes our longing for Jesus’s return. This is a truly ‘Christian Hedonist’ eschatology: robustly biblical, radically hope-giving, and relentlessly focused on our eternal enjoyment of the glorious triune God.”\u003cbr\u003e—Stephen Witmer, Lead Pastor, Pepperell Christian Fellowship, Pepperell, Massachusetts; author, \u003cem\u003eEternity Changes Everything\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eA Big Gospel in Small Places\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Of all of John Piper’s books, this may be the one I’m most glad he wrote. In our commitment to gospel-centrality we must find ways to more fully and more regularly celebrate the grand consummation of God’s redemptive purposes, and this book helps us do just that. Piper addresses and helpfully answers many of our questions about the second coming, but the great contribution of this book is its stirring of our hearts with the truth of God’s word. In so doing, Piper charges our eagerness and our joy as we anticipate that day when Christ will come in all his glory.
