Cuando Él venga

Marcos Vidal's song "Cuando Él venga" is a profound meditation on the return of Jesus Christ, drawing heavily from biblical references, particularly the Gospel of Luke. The song opens with a direct quote from Luke 18:7-8, which questions whether God will delay in bringing justice to His chosen ones and whether the Son of Man will find faith on Earth upon His return. This sets the tone for the entire song, which revolves around themes of justice, faith, and the moral integrity of Jesus Christ.

The lyrics recount the life of Jesus, emphasizing His humble beginnings as a carpenter and His unwavering commitment to truth and purity. Vidal highlights Jesus' rejection of earthly crowns and His dedication to cultivating hearts and teaching forgiveness. This portrayal of Jesus as a figure who lived for others, sowing seeds of goodness and compassion, serves as a stark contrast to the question posed: What will He find upon His return? The song suggests a deep concern about the state of humanity's faith and moral compass.

Vidal further underscores Jesus' sacrifice, noting how He became poor and vulnerable, a humble servant despite being divine. The imagery of Jesus as a soldier and a slave for love, who shared His warmth and friendship with the hungry and protected the foreigners, paints a vivid picture of His selflessness. The song concludes with a poignant reminder of Jesus' promise to return, leaving listeners to ponder the true state of their faith and actions. The recurring question, "When the Son of Man comes, what will He find?" serves as a powerful call to self-reflection and spiritual readiness.
