Children may look at today as the last day before Santa Claus. Okay. They are children. They are full of anticipation for the glorious morning tomorrow. Wouldn’t it be great if adults could feel that way about the return of Christ?
I don’t expect Him to return this week. One reason is He told His disciples that He would come when least expected and since everyone is excited about red heifers and all the parts of the temple being collected, my conclusion is, “Not now.” I could be wrong. I would love to be wrong. I would also like to lose weight over the Christmas holidays.
What does that have to do with Christmas? If Jesus had not come He could not be crucified. If He was not crucified He could not be resurrected. If He had not been resurrected and assended He could not come again. All those happened. The last is coming.
Count on it. Live like it.
Merry Christmas
