Looking for Him During Advent

Looking for Him During Advent
Hebrews 9:28, “So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”
            Jesus came to earth to the Jew first and then to the whole world. (Romans, 2:10-11)  As we approach the celebration of Christ’s birth, about the fact that as Romans 2:11so explicitly explains, “… there is no respect of persons with God.)  That is reason enough for me to enter this Advent season with great joy in gratitude in my heart!  I am   thankful for the whosoever of the gospel.  Anything less would have left this Kansas farmer with no hope whatsoever.
            Jesus left the Glory World without prejudice or favor to anyone from any country or any culture.  Someone has said that the ground is level at the foot of the old rugged cross.  So, we all are able to celebrate Christ’s coming to this earth to be Emmanuel-God with us.  If we know, love, and serve Him we can also look forward to His Second Advent with great joy and expectation.  I want to make sure that I keep his second coming at mind during this Advent celebration because, as Hebrews 9:28 reminds us all, So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”
