Our focus as the body through the years has really shifted. In he early church , people were literally joining in communion, praying and watching and waiting for the return of Christ; now it seems to be such a far focus from our minds.
Sometimes things like Christmas can only heighten this distraction. Let always remember to refocus and have a zoned view of His return. It could just be sooner than we expect.
It all began with a lady, a snake and fruit;
That caused a severe earth to Heaven cosmic dispute.
And from that day prophesied an announcement, drumming,
That somewhere in the distant future, a King was coming.
Then there was a man, who couldn’t have a son;
He obeyed the many calls of God – but as for children, he had none.
And then the impossible happened ,
And the lineage by which the CHRIST would be stemming –
Began, and continued fervently still; A King was coming.
And it was confirmed over and over again,
by a boy with a sling and a man who slept in a lion’s den.
By prophets and princes and peoples, all of history was buzzing .
All declaring the one phrase : A King was coming.
And finally, an angel appeared to a teenage girl,
Some shepherds and nobles who excitedly made a swirl.
God Holy above had reached out to man
-How gracious, how kind, how loving !
He never went back on His word, He said a King was coming;

He never went back on His word, He said a King was coming;
And so He came.
And gave all humanity the chance to know Him again.
Removed our sin, so that our relationship to Him could amend .
He rose from the dead, and now to Him we can spend our lives running.
But He shan’t leave us, He shan’t leave us here, He said: He is coming.
So keep watch and with your days wait.
Don’t leave your afterlife to fate.
This time He won’t be a baby – I assure you He wasn’t bluffing.
Forever to reign for eternity.
The King is surely coming.
