Schutte has been composing music for more than 30
years, including extensive collaboration with the St.
Louis Jesuits. A contemporary Christian songwriter,
he is best known for composing the hymn “Here I
Am, Lord”, as well as “Mass of Christ the Savior”,
which is widely used in the Acadiana area. His more
recent pieces exhibit an enduring ability to reach into
people’s hearts and draw them into prayer. He is one
of the best known, most prolific and influential com-
posers of music for the liturgy today. For more infor-
mation, please contact Jodi Bollich (337-234-5147 or
Someone once said that “In the year 10,000 A.D., they will be speaking of us as the “early church’”. We feel like we have been waiting and longing for the Second Coming of Christ for, well, forever. But since ‘no knows the day or the hour’, as Jesus himself said, that end of the world as we know it may come tomorrow, or ten thou-sand years from now.
The people we call the early Church at Thessalonika to whom St. Paul wrote, had some difficulty with this. Many were expecting an immediate return of Christ, and when some of their members began to die before that Second Coming, they were disillusioned. In both his letters to the Thessalonians, St. Paul deals with this delayed Coming of Christ, strengthening their hope, and challenging them to let go of their idea of when that would hap-pen. He even gave them an image of being “caught up in the air” with Christ at that glorious return.
So, when will Christ come again? Many though the ages have tried to answer that question, with some delving into the Book of Revelation and trying (unsuccessfully) to apply the admittedly strange imagery of that book to current events, a clear misuse of the Scriptures. In this way, they hope to determine the identity of the Anti-Christ (often the Catholic Church), the ‘number of the beast’ (beware of barcodes!) and the date of the Sec-ond Coming. To do so is to ignore the words of Christ himself: No one knows.
These long-awaited events at the end of time have gotten much attention in recent decades through the popular “Left Behind” series of books. Now, there is another movie, out in theaters now, which seeks to promote these beliefs. The problem is that while the movie is based on the books, the books are not true!
The books and movie center around the concept of the “Rapture”. Christ will come again, and suddenly raise up those who are ‘saved’ into heaven. (Bumper sticker: ‘In the event of Rapture, this car will be driverless’.) Everyone else will be “left behind”. There will then be a period of tribulation — war, pestilence, the Antichrist, etc. — after which Christ will come again, again. In this theory, Christ comes again twice.
This idea of the ’Rapture’ and being ‘Left Behind’ was invented by John Nelson Darby in England in 1827, and popularized in the United States in the early 20th century by the popular Scofield Reference Bible. While be-lieved by many, it is false theology. Nobody is being ‘left behind’, though all will be judged. Jesus is coming again, but once, not twice. No one knows when, no matter what happens in Israel or Russia. Feel free to see the movie, but just remember it’s fiction. It’s entertainment, not a proclamation of the Gospel.
