As we celebrate the first coming of our Lord we anticipate His Second Coming. Jesus constantly reminds us to be ready. History is moving to its final consummation, when everything will be summed up in Christ. “All things have been created through Him and for Him” (Col 1:16). He is coming to reclaim what was rightfully given to Him by His Father (Psalm 2). Glorious Day!
“I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. ‘Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as Your possession. ‘You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter them like earthenware.'” Psalms 2:7-9 (NASB)
