Revelation 22:20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
As we have come to the conclusion and climax of Advent: celebrating Christ's coming to earth, we know that things still are "just not right." That is because Jesus, the Light of the World, went back to heaven to prepare a place for us. We are not good at waiting. Mankind was promised a redeemer at the Fall, but he got tired of waiting and went his own ways. The people of Israel were promised a Messiah, yet they did everything possible to restore their own kings their own way. Many gave up waiting, but some faithfully kept watch. We are charged to be like them - to say "I believe Jesus is coming back again, as He said, and I am going to live that way - not one day a year, but every day. As we look back with gratitude and praise over His first coming, and the great salvation that He brought, may we also equally look forward to His return.
