Luke 21:34-36
Today's Advent Reading
During the Advent season, we prepare for the time that we remember Jesus' birth. There was a point in time where he entered history, became human, and related to us in every way. There will be a time when he comes back to earth, as reigning king.
As we await this second advent, we will face many temptations. We need to be careful not to yield to them, for Jesus' return can be at any moment, and we want to be ready to stand before the Lord with a clean heart.
As I am now busy with Christmas preparations, decorating, baking and preparing Christmas cards for mailing. As I go about these tasks, I should also be preparing for Christ's return to earth--seeking him each day to help me live a godly life. Let our hearts be right before our coming King!
