Spiritual Advice and Guidance Blog: Urantia Book: Do you believe that Jesus is coming back again to save his children on earth?

Q: Do you believe that Jesus is coming back again to save his children on earth?

A: I'll have to answer this from a personal belief point of view. The Urantia Book does say that Jesus will come back to earth but no one knows when. As for coming back to save his children - we're all his children regardless of race, nationality, religion, or lack thereof. Adam and Eve weren't "saved" from their error, Jesus wasn't "saved" from a torturous death. I don't think God is in the "saving" business so much as God is in the "learning through our own mistakes" business. So it's my opinion that no, Jesus is not coming back to save his children - he may come back to set the world aright though.

Did you know that The Urantia Book has the most complete and authentic depiction of the life and teachings of Jesus available? You might enjoy reading that section.

yes, for too long too many have sat around waitng to be rescued, for humanity to be rescued. "pick up your bed and walk" said Jesus. Hardly the words of a being in the saving game. He did not choose to see us as helpless victims, his love was too great to belittle the individual in this way. He offered us freedom, choice and responsibility to save ourselves without intervention. In this culture of blame we would do well to remember this aspect of love which empowers.
