S11E19: The Return of Christ Foretold (Advent: The Coming of Christ pt. 1)

Sermon #580

Advent is the season of anticipation for the coming of Christ.  The world seems to be enamored of the Christian holiday of Christmas but in reality it has become a secular holiday in which we try to outdo each other in gift giving.  The true meaning of Christmas is the gift of the incarnation of Christ, when God stepped off his throne to be born in Bethlehem, to live a perfect life and to die the death that we deserve.  The season of Advent looks forward to when Jesus will return in the clouds in power and glory, to take his elect home to heaven and to set all things right.  Until then, we as Christians are called to stay vigilant and to await his return with great anticipation.
