1 Corinthians 16.22 - Not Yet Home for Christmas!

Our ZGC family is scattered around the globe this Christmas Sunday, but nobody is really home…yet! Yes, some lucky bugs managed to jet off to family in their earthly homelands. If you’re reading this, you might envy them. I do. We have the joy of Christmas in Beijing – where if the wind blows it is FREEZING, but we breathe easier! Wherever we are on this fallen earth we still sing, “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.” Sure, we sing it with great confidence because He did come decisively in His first advent. Salvation has been accomplished by His mighty cross-work. We belong to Him forever! Yet we still wait for His final advent to this old earth. Then, like that night in Bethlehem, the skies will fill with glory; not just for surprised shepherds, but His entire waiting, faithful, Church. “Our Lord, come!” (1 Corinthians 16.22).
