This is the time we celebrate the first advent of our Lord which we call Christmas. This was the time He came as a babe into His creation in order to save us from our own self destruction through sin. Soon, and just around the corner, He will come again; a second advent. This time He will not come as a babe, but as a magnificent warrior king to destroy evil and establish His reign on the earth. This day of His coming will be forever remembered as the premier holiday of all ages. It’s the day when we, His followers, will be resurrected to immortality in our new bodies. From that point on, we will rule and reign with Him in His kingdom forever. This new holiday will be known forever as the “holiday of holidays”. It might be called “The Day of the Lord” or “The Second Advent” or “Parousia“. Whatever it is called, I’m sure it will be revered as a universal holiday by all creation throughout time. Now that’s a holiday I look forward to celebrating!
In the meantime, let’s enjoy this celebration of His first advent. To all reading this blog, have a merry and blessed Christmas and a new year filled with occasions to share Gospel of the Kingdom.
Maranatha, Jim
