A far off Christmas is an understatement this week. We head to the North Pole and all the way back to the Garden of Eden. The past two weeks we considered the when and the where. This week we’ll look at why do we have Christmas?
A Far Off Christmas – Where
Last week we heard when Jesus was coming – when the time had fully come! The world was ready for Jesus some two thousand years ago. What about where? Today we explore what the ancients knew about the location of the coming Savior.
A Far Off Christmas
A far off Christmas sounds a little odd when everyone knows that Christmas comes around once a year. That wasn’t the case for God’s Old Testament people.
The Rider on the White Horse
The rider on the white horse might seem ambiguous to you, but it’s a very specific picture of our God. If we go into Revelation 19 we see the armies of heaven amassed and marching behind the rider on the white horse. Yet there is something that seems out of place.
Heaven is a Place
Heaven is a place might seem obvious enough, but many people don’t think so. The concept of the afterlife is a difficult one for people to understand. As soon as folks admit there is an afterlife, then they have to admit there is a God, higher power, or something greater than themselves.
The Last Day of the World
The Last Day of the World sounds kind of ominous, but it doesn’t need to be. God has had this day in mind since the creation of the world. He has known every step, every detail, the most important part of that plan was how he would get to know you.
