Second Coming (33)
  1. This is the patient love of God. He is stubborn about the salvation of sinners. He will not be rushed even if his name is mocked, and the trustworthiness of his promises are called into question.
  2. The Advents of Christ (past, present, and future) elicit faith in the word of Christ, confirmed by his presence.
  3. Getting ready for Christ’s coming is a practice in humility.
  4. “The days are coming,” and God said it. God, who kept his promise that Christ would come at Christmas.
  5. If Jesus is indeed the same yesterday, today, and forever, everything his enfleshment brings is already assured: life, salvation, and forgiveness.
  6. The grace of God does not save us at the beginning only in order to keep ourselves in his good graces by our good enough readiness.
  7. Repentance means to turn or change your mind. It is not a turn from sin to righteousness. It is a turn from sin to the righteous Son of God who has defeated all sin.
  8. To a world enslaved to time (because it has no future), the Church's disregard for clocks and calendars is ridiculous.
  9. Eating a whole turkey by yourself? May we join? Hit play, grab a leg, dip in cranberry, and enjoy what some people call the greatest meeting of minds since Shane MacGowan got together with Nick Cave to record My Way!
  10. Jesus desires for us to watch. The question, however, is, “How do we watch for the return of Jesus?”
