“Why Bring Christ Back To Earth? (#2)”

Yesterday we asked this question to learn why Jesus would need to come to the earth. Let us continue and see that there is no reason for Jesus to set foot on earth again.
Colossians 3:17 says that the things we do must be done “in the name of the Lord.” The word “name” means “position, rank, and title.” Christ has “a name which is above every name” (Phil. 2:9-10). He wears a name no one else can wear. He has a position no one else can obtain. Seeing these things are true, to bring Christ to the earth would be a demotion in position, rank, and title.
Please read I Peter 1:19-21 and John 17:5. These passages show us that His glory is complete. Just as His name is above every name, so is His glory. To bring Jesus to this earth again would diminish the glory He now has.
In John 17:4, we read “I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.” There is nothing left for Jesus to do on earth! Jesus plainly said at the end of His life, “It is finished” (Jn. 19:30). Christ knew He had done all His Father had commanded; now it is up to us to realize it!
There is no need for Christ to return to the earth. He has done all He is going to do. He has all glory, dominion, and power. Why bring Jesus to earth and demote Him?
