How long will we have to wait and watch for Jesus to return? We do not know. Jesus said he would return soon. However, the definition of “soon” for the One who has no beginning or end will naturally differ from ours. Whenever Jesus returns, it will take us by surprise. So, how do believers avoid growing lethargic? How do we remain ready and watchful for Christ’s return? Our Savior points us to his Scriptures.
We are now one week closer to Christmas than when Advent began. That means we are now one week closer to Jesus’ imminent return to judge the living and the dead. Are we more ready than we were last week for His coming? That’s what Advent is about, being always prepared and ready for the day the Judge appears and the call goes out, “All rise!”
Does the idea of God as Judge make you nervous? John the Baptist invited people to turn their nervousness to repentance. He says that the arrival of the Judge is imminent, and the kingdom of heaven is near! You are invited to hear John, repent, and believe the good news of the coming Savior.
