Come, Lord Jesus!

November 28th, 2010 Posted in writing

“Come, Lord Jesus!” That fervent prayer ends the Book of Revelation and, so, the entire Bible. The desire for Christ also animates the season of Advent, when we celebrate his coming in the past and pray that he come again soon.

It’s also good to remember that Jesus comes to us each day, just as the sun rises each morning — even on cloudy days. And just as no two sunrises are exactly the same, Christ comes in different ways each day, too.

That’s why Advent also reminds us to look for Christ each day and, whether we recognize him or simply believe in faith that he is there, to give him the warm and heartfelt welcome he deserves.

Happy Advent!
