Them That Look

“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” (Hebrews 9:28).

“unto them that look for him shall he appear”

“Them” implies a certain sector of people, not everyone. Even the sacrifice of Christ was “to bear the sins of “many”, not for all. “Look” connotes the active process of searching. Christ will only “appear” to those that are looking for Him. We only search for what we desire, want and need.

To aid in the search, Christ has already shown us the way. We are even forgiven when we stumble out of the way, this path of righteousness and are even welcomed back with loving arms.

“the second time without sin”

Picture what a wonderful event this will be. Not only will the search be over for “them” that have looked for Christ, but this event will be pure, righteous and without sin. We can’t comprehend the beauty and magnificence of this. Without sin is something no man has experienced. No pain, no guilt, no sorrow, no deceit, hate or ill intent.

“Salvation”

We find Christ. We also find true, untainted, and eternal love and peace.

That’s worth a lifetime of searching, don’t you think?
