At Advent, we look back at why Jesus had to come, that He came, and then that He will come again.
Jesus came to live amongst us, and His true followers look to Him.
God the Father sent God the Son because of His love for Him and for us.
We are the inheritance of Christ from the Father, but only if we belive in the Son.
Though many still doubt and remain under God’s wrath.
It is hard for us to comprehend how deep the Father’s love is, yet He gives all things to His Son whom He sent to die for us.
We are no longer under God’s wrath when we believe in the work of Christ on the cross, yet we have a greater hope knowing He arose from the grave.
All of Creation is placed in His hands, and we know He is coming again for us, as He promised before and at His ascension to the right hand of the Father.
May we seek the Lord who saves us and is coming again to take us as His own.
