It is only when we experience “to live is Christ” that we will experience his peace on Earth. It is only when we see that “good will to man” is the man Christ Jesus that we will experience the grace of our union with God.

An Angelic Advent. Day 31: And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds.
The final advent is now something we actually look forward to with great anticipation. In fact, our entire lives, our entire ethic, our entire motivation is rooted in this return of the King. It is not our greatest fear. It is our greatest hope!
An Angelic Advent. Day 30: And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “who is worthy?”
He’s not worthy because he overpowered us. He’s worthy because he was overpowered for us. He’s worthy because in the weakness of his cross he conquered all that would destroy us.
An Angelic Advent. Day 29: Nor angels…will be able to separate us from the love of God.
Nothing can separate us from God’s love for us. Nothing. No angel. No demon. No cosmic ruler. And not even the hardest thing ever – waiting.
An Angelic Advent. Day 28: And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes.
What grace! He comes to us – again. We don’t climb up to him. He returns to restore not only our spiritual relationship to God, but also our physical relationship to God. This is the fullness of God’s salvation.
An Angelic Advent. Day 27: Behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel.
He is not the living among the dead. He is the living among the living – us! May we live in this new year as though we actually have the risen Christ in us. May we live from his grace and love each day as we await the final advent of our risen Lord and Savior.
To Live is Christ
