Advent

[quietbloke]

As we celebrate the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ,we are assured by the Word of God that He is coming again! Let us be ready!

Oh,an Advent thread, wow! I'll be back tomorrow!
Looking forward to the Saviour's birth
Looking forward to his coming again...

Wonderful to think of our Saviour today,who came from Glory into this world to save us. Hulleluyah! What a Saviour!

When I think of Advent. It fills my heart with anticipation!

a wonderful time

In Psalm 33...
We are encouraged to play our instruments and sing when praising God,
and then this verse..

6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.

The letter to the Hebrews confirms the fact that Jesus was seen as the Word of God and the way of salvation. Hebrews 1:3 describes Jesus true identity, 'The Son is the radiance of God's glory...'
John 1:1 Jesus the eternal Word of God, is the foundation of wisdom and holiness.
A wonderful beginning to Advent.

[Almost there]

As we celebrate the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ,we are assured by the Word of God that He is coming again! Let us be ready!

I completely agree.

However, I came here for an argument!

'Our glad hosannas,Prince of Peace,Thy welcome shall proclaim and heaven's eternal arches ring with Thy beloved name' (P Doddridge)

'When the Saviour dwelt below,pity in His body reigned. Sympathy He loved to show,nor the meanest suit disdained' (Anon)
