The title of today's sermon was "Are You Ready for Christmas?" Not the date December 25th on the Gregorian calendar with all the busyness surrounding it, but the Advent of Christ.
At the beginning of creation God prepared for Christmas... the angels prepared for Christmas... Mary and Joseph prepared for Christmas... the shepherds and wisemen prepared their hearts for worship that first Christmas, but the world at large was unprepared for Christ's arrival.
The world needed a Savior more than 2,000 years ago, and mankind still needs a Savior in 2015.
"Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him."
Hebrews 9:28 [NIV]
I want to be one of those who are prepared and waiting for his glorious second coming!
May God bless your week!
