Advent

Send us Fan MailAdvent symbolizes the present situation of the church in these “last days” (Acts 2:17), as God’s people wait for the return of Christ in glory to consummate his eternal kingdom. The church is in a similar situation to Israel at the end of the Old Testament: in exile, waiting and hoping in prayerful expectation for the coming of the Messiah. The return of Jesus Christ is a vital part of God’s redemptive plan for humanity. That’s why the event was foretold by prophets, proclaimed by angels, and taught by Jesus and the apostles. In fact, more Old Testament passages are devoted to Christ’s second coming than to His first. And in the New Testament, the Lord mentions His return more frequently than He speaks of His death. The second coming defeats Satan’s earthly reign and establishes Christ’s kingdom of peace and righteousness in its place. Revelation 19:11-21, 20:1-6, Acts 2:14-21Support the showhttps://linktr.ee/thresholdchurchchrist
