A Season of Expectations
Malachi 3:1-2
Our scripture, a beautiful description of the first and second coming of Christ, is valed from such a distinction here.
This proved quite problematic for the Jews of Jesus’ day, not to mention His own disciples.
We, as twenty first century Christians are in a season of expectation.
On the one hand we celebrate Advent, (the first coming of Christ born as a baby in Bethlehem) and with anticipation wait for His return in Glory!
Our celebration of Advent is a blissful time for us.
It is filled with excitement, wonder, feelings of joy and peace, etc.
For some however, it is a season of gloom and depression!
And these unwanted feelings probably stem from a spirit of hopelessness, lack of faith, etc. and not from the Spirit of God.
