Nehemiah 7:1-73; Zechariah 2:1-3:10; Revelation 12:1-17
He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Hebrews 9:26 NKJV
At this time of year, our thoughts begin to turn towards the coming to earth of God the Son. He appeared then for the express purpose of “putting away” our sins by the sacrifice of Himself. But the wonderful truth continues; for Christ now “appears in the presence of God for us” (Heb. 9:24). He is in the very presence of His Father as an advocate for all who have trusted Him. But it gets even better! “To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time,
apart from sin, for salvation” (Heb. 9:28). —Ray Jones
Maybe morning, maybe noon,
Maybe evening and maybe soon!
O what a wonderful day it will be;
Jesus is coming again! —John W. Peterson
