It is the time of the year where we, as a church community, remember what it was like to wait for the coming Lord. When He came, He came first to those who were far off. Essentially because there was no one up close. Can you remember the time when you were far away from Jesus?
So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
