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!
TLIC Daily. Day 365. December 31: Come Lord Jesus!
May we today and every day pray, “Come Lord Jesus!”, while we remember that our Lord Jesus has already come into our hearts. This new year may we live as if we are already there. Let’s live as if “to live is Christ.”
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.
TLIC Daily. Day 364. December 30: All things new.
This year don’t place your hope in the new year. Place your hope in the new creation, the new birth. Our new reality that is found in Christ and his unfailing covenant presence. And we don’t need a calendar change for that. No resolutions necessary. Just faith in “to live is Christ.”
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.
TLIC Daily. Day 363. December 29: His bride has made herself ready.
The end of days vision of “to live is Christ” is two star crossed lovers, emerging from the wilderness, leaning on each other.
To Live is Christ
