Around Christmas we focus on Jesus’ first coming, when He came as a baby. He came to live the perfect life that we couldn’t live so that He could offer Himself in our place to pay for our sins, and then to rise again to go back to Heaven.
Then one day Jesus is going to come a second time to set the world completely aright. Once enough time has passed for humanity to accept or reject what Jesus has done for us, He will come to get rid of all that opposes goodness and peace.
When? We don’t know; it’s a surprise. Until then, we are to tell people about Jesus’ whole life and what He’s done for us. Jesus wants everyone to be saved!
Because of the first coming, we can look forward to the second one!
