"In that Day..."

Text: 2 Thessalonians 1:10

SPECIAL JOY TO BELIEVERS

The Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to believers is something else! It is a joyous event that all may anticipate.

“When He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints
and to be admired among all those who believe,
because our testimony among you was believed.”

2 Thessalonians 1:10
