Behind the door you will find a little Jerusalem surrounded by clouds. Technically I believe that what most of us call the Christmas season is actually Advent on the church calendar. The events in the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas” begin on Christmas and proceed to Epiphany, the coming of the Wise Men. What Christians look forward to after advent and Christmas is the second coming, or the return of Christ.
The Bible is full of prophecies about the return of Jesus. It opens a whole raft of things to argue about and involves things like the Tribulation, the Rapture, the New Jerusalem, lakes of fire and all kinds of excitement. In the midst of it all is the promise that Jesus would return.
The first advent is behind us. The second advent is ahead of us. Make sure that you have things in order in between. Jesus came so you could have eternal life. When He returns He will put all of that in motion.
See you there.
Merry Christmas
