Advent Devotional: Day 7

There will come a day when you and I will speak of the days before glory… the days before the King returned… the days before the Second Advent. But, for now we find ourselves caught in the middle of history’s two great events. We affectionately remember the humble First Coming of Jesus and we eagerly await the glorious Second Coming of Jesus when He shall appear in the sky, coming with the clouds in full glory and splendor. Oh, how beautiful that Day will be! 

During this season of Advent, consider in the privacy of your heart: “Is Jesus beautiful and glorious to me?” Tell me, dear saint, does He stir the affections of your soul?

Prayer: Sovereign Father in Heaven,  You have truly scripted history as the ultimate story! None greater could ever be told. We sit in the midst of it, remembering and anticipating the coming of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Rapture us with the love of Christ! Captivate our hearts in worship through Your Holy Spirit. Sustain us by Your grace as we live between the two Advents of Christ.  Amen.

For Reflection & Discussion:
Is your faith grounded in the grace Christ purchased in His First Advent? Is your faith anticipating the grace to be revealed with Christ in His Second Advent?
