“He who testifies to these things says, ‘Surely I am coming soon.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!” (Revelation 22:20). Advent reminds us to wait and prepare for the Lord’s second coming as we remember how He came in human flesh and dwells with us always.
Christmas is Phase 1 of God’s invasion to rescue humanity from the dominion of sin and Satan. His birth, life, death, resurrection, ascension, and second coming are all part of God’s plan to offer us eternal life. Let us cling to that gift.
“For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.”
