We're in the season leading up to Christmas known as Advent.
The word advent literally means 'appearing or coming'... and it refers to both Christ's first coming in His incarnation and His second coming in judgment.
So during Advent, we remember Christ came to restore His rule over our fallen world... and we anticipate His return when every knee will bow before Him as Lord.
In the meantime... we prepare our own hearts and rule over our own little places with His renewing grace.
And we do so rejoicing... knowing Christ has come to make all things new... and will come again to finish making all things right.
'Behold, days are coming,' declares the LORD, 'when I will fulfill the good word which I have spoken... (Jer.33:14).
