“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.
The disciples had to wait to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. God had a purpose in mind. We need to remember why we receive the Holy Spirit.
Advent is a time of preparation for a closer walk with Jesus as we reflect on His first coming and prepare for His return. This can be a good time to clear the obstacles that are hindering our relationship with Him.
