Here and now, forever and always

Sunday December 10th Luke 3: 1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar—when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Traconitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene— 2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the desert. Very specific times and places mentioned. We also live in a specific time and place, and the Lord is coming to us also. The Lord comes into your life where you are at. Second Advent is about preparing the way, and yet, the Lord comes into your life in the here and now and guides you in preparing the way. That is the good news of Immanuel, God with us. Preparing the way starts with the Lords help in the here and now and leads us into a world of grace forever and always.
