Day 342 (Through the Bible in a year readings for today: Daniel 11,12; 3 John)
WHY ADVENT PREPARATIONS?
“And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.” (Daniel 12:2 ESV)
Daniel isn’t mincing any words here. There are only two eternal options, eternal life or everlasting contempt, heaven or hell.
Therefore, as you look forward to Christmas and the birth of Jesus your Savior, don’t forget your Advent preparations. Repent and believe that the Babe of Bethlehem came to purchase your salvation. You can now face your eternal future with peace, confidence and eager anticipation because you know that everlasting life is yours in Christ Jesus.
Lord God, heavenly Father, graciously keep me close to You through saving faith in Jesus, my Advent King, so that I may spend eternity with You. Amen.
