Father Pancras' message
Updated on November 26th 2011
When we expect some very important
event to happen, we wait for it with excited anticipation for the most important
event of all-his return in glory at the end of time! The prophets foretold the coming of the Lord
when he shall judge between the nations and decide for many peoples(Isaiah
2:5). The Advent season reminds us that we are lining in the end times. The end
times begins with the first coming of Christ(his
Incarnation which we celebrate at Christmas) and culminates in his final return
on the Day of Judgment. Jesus spoke of his return in glory at the end of times
as a certain fact. Jesus’ audience understood the the,
Son of Man, as referring to the Messianic prophecy of the Anointed king who
comes to establish an everlasting kingdom over the earth(see
Daniel 7:13). While the second coming is for certain, the time is unknown. The Lord’s
judgment comes swiftly and often unexpectedly. Jesus warns his listeners to not
be caught off guard when that day arrives. It will surely come in God’s time!
Do you earnestly pray for God’s kingdom to come-here and now!
Our physical address:
May the Lord send his angel and guard you in your journey.
Have a wonderful Christmas Season!
Enjoy heaven’s choicest blessings of good
health, peace, happiness and prosperity.
Blessings!
