The final Sunday of Advent means that our waiting and longing will soon be rewarded. Christmas is near! The future of those waiting for the Messiah was a glorious hope. That hope became reality when Jesus came and accomplished His purposes. The beauty of the gospel is that Jesus lived a righteous life for us, died a substitutionary death for us, and offered eternal life as a free gift to us. Christmas hope fulfilled! There is still a future hope for the Christian. The hope of eternal glory in heaven. Just as God fulfilled his promise of Jesus in the 1st coming, God will fulfill his promise of heaven - eternity in God’s presence. This Sunday I will focus on our future hope in Jesus! Then on Christmas Eve at 5:00 pm we will celebrate that Jesus appeared!
“Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when He appears we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.” - I John 3:2
