Jeremiah 33:14-16 -
The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will fulfill the promise I made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah. In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch to spring up for David; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will live in safety. And this is the name by which it will be called: "The Lord is our righteousness."
These were days of military defeat and exile. And yet....
Things could not get worse. And yet....
Advent is not just about who came in the past, although that element is surely present. It is primarily about who will be coming in the future! The days are surely coming, says the Lord!! How important is the schedule sitting on your desk right now compared to the promise of eternity? The church calendar is in large part a tool for helping us remember our priorities.
The Lord is coming. Are you ready?
