Sermon, 4th Sunday in Advent, 2025
Again this Sunday, we hear the refrain, “Christ is coming! Are you prepared?” The Old Testament People of God cried out for God’s help, and to their cries, God promised that He would come, bringing righteousness and justice. Of course we, as the New Testament People of God, know that God has come in the person of Jesus Christ. And we also know that the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, lives in us, encouraging us in our spiritual journies and preparing us for Christ’s second return. He will come again to judge both the quick and the dead. May we long for His return.
