His first coming was gentle to usher in the age of grace. He came as a helpless baby, as my pastor says “God in diapers”. But as we remember that first coming this year let’s remember He is coming again and next time it won’t be as a helpless child but as the One who will judge the quick and the dead. Ultimately Christmas like every other celebration in Christendom is meant to help us remember both what He did and what He has yet to do!
My love for Jesus brings me to the love letter of the book Song of Songs. Can’t you just hear Him wooing us with these verses. Oh, how my heart aches for His return and for those that are lost. I pray many will become intoxicated with Him or just plain “wasted.” Pastor Brad’s message will not leave me alone. The anticipation of changing of the guard is growing each day in hopes that more souls will be saved. A-men!
Amen Deb! I so long for the bridegroom to come for the bride, but I also long to linger that more souls may be won to Him!
Reblogged this on Stumbling into Grace with SPTP2011 and commented:
Love this song!
It reminds me of my friend Judi Kruis’ paintings
Thank you for the reblog!
Thank you for reminding us that He’s not a baby any more. God bless you and all He’s doing in your life!
He is our Savior, Healer, Baptizer and Soon and Coming King! Oh how I long to know Him more!
Pastor J – what a great video and the challenge in your words.
Thank you Judi! I hope you will be greatly blessed by the offerings of RTW! Stop by again any time!
Jesus was born to die / He died to save / He lives to keep / He is coming back for His own . . . but then it will be too late for those who do not know Him.
If one does not YIELD to the LOVE of God
and be CHANGED by the GRACE of God
there will be NO WAY to ESCAPE the WRATH of God!
We are one day closer!
Wow now that is a potent word Angela! Thank you!
