Even So Quickly Come

Season, I missed the point as a kid. Even for some time as an adult I missed some of the point.

We

We can all miss the point from time to time

What is Advent

The meaning of Advent: the arrival of a notable person, thing, or event.

The 1st Advent vs the 2nd Advent

Revelation 22:20 ESV

20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

Each year we celebrate the 1st advent of Christ. Hope, Joy, Love, Peace.

When we celebrate each year we not only look back and take joy and thanksgiving, but we also look forward to the hope we have in Christ’s return.

This is the 3rd time the risen Christ Christ speaks

He testifies he is coming soon

We must reiterate this

Waiting for Naomi after the woman's retreat

Israel longed for the the Messiah. We should long for Christ’s return in the same way.

You

In this season we should be reminded as of longing for Christ

We

“Next Year in Jerusalem”

Our prayer each advent should be Next year in the heavenly Jerusalem
