Many things are written about the First Advent of Christ, but what about His Second Advent? As we see here in scripture there is definitely a Second Advent, not as a baby, not as a crucified Lord and Savior, but as our coming Righteous King to rule, judge and reward.
When we begin to talk about Advent what exactly are we speaking of? Usually when we are speaking about Jesus and Advent we are referring to the birth of Jesus, the First Advent.
Have you ever looked forward to taking a long trip, but someone else was making all the plans? You don’t know exactly where you are going, or how you are getting there, but your spouse is handling everything, and you trust them completely.
One Christmas my parents got me a gift I had not asked for, thought of or considered – a chemistry set. As I opened it, I was amazed!
I can find myself caught up in the “season of Christmas” unless I intentionally focus on the Christ of Christmas. I need to listen to Christmas music that talks of Christ.
Titus was a Greek disciple who traveled with the Apostle Paul during his 1st Missionary Journey to Corinth, Galatia, and later Crete, in the capacity of either being a church planter in places Paul did not travel to, or as a traveling elder bolstering the churches Paul started after Paul left to continue his missions work elsewhere.
As we walk through this advent season, let us take a look at how we view Jesus in our life. If we truly reflect on our lives and are honest with ourselves, do we see Jesus as a baby still in our life or is He our King Eternal!
God’s plan is never slow or late; nor is it ever too little or too much. God’s plan is perfect in timing, amount, means and fulfillment of all He purposes.
