Advent is a time in the church year where we prepare for the celebration of Christmas. This coming Sunday will already be the 4th Sunday in Advent. Christmas is around the corner. Are you ready?
People get asked that alot. Are you ready? Shopping done? Presents bought? Cookies baked? I'll respond like Charlie Brown-Good Grief! Yesterday I was talking with someone who said, "what gets done gets done what doesn't doesn't" A-Men! But there's something more to Advent. Advent means coming. And Christ is coming again! Are you ready for that?
If you're not the implications are more than just, "oh well, I guess that didn't get done" To be ready for Christ coming is to know Him as your Savior. The Christ Child of Bethlehem came to walk the road of life with you, to go to a cross and die for your sin, and then to rise again so you might know there is nothing you cannot rise above. He came to save you from eternal death!
If you are afraid of death or His coming again please write to me. As the year winds down we at Project 52 want you to be sure of everlasting life. You never know when life will end. Just ask the many people who have experienced loss in their life.
As the world hurries to get ready for Christmas, may I remind you of Advent and the importance of being ready for His second coming. Christmas 2009 will come and go....eternity is forever!
In Christ,
Pastor John
