There’s something about this time of year that reminds us of anticipation. Even people who aren’t thinking about the spiritual side of Christmas can feel it. But long before the manger, there was a promise spoken by God, carried by prophets, and held by generations who waited in faith.
In today’s message, we walk through how the first coming of Jesus proves God’s perfect timing, and how the second coming calls us to live ready, watchful, and faithful. The God who kept every detail of the first promise will keep every detail of the next one.
Main Points:
1. The First Coming Shows His Faithfulness
God kept every prophecy with precision and fulfilled the promise of the Messiah exactly when and where He said He would. His timing wasn’t late and His plan wasn’t uncertain. The manger was a divine appointment.
2. The Second Coming Shows Our Faithfulness
The first coming reveals the heart of God. The second reveals the heart of His church. The early believers lived with an expectation that shaped their priorities. We’re called to do the same as we wait for His return.
3. Israel Missed Him Because They Expected the Wrong Kingdom
They wanted a political solution instead of a Savior. They knew the scriptures but missed the fulfilment standing right in front of them. This warns us not to let our expectations blind us to what Jesus is actually doing.
4. Let’s Not Miss Him By Getting Distracted By the World
Jesus warned that the last days would feel normal. Distraction is the enemy of readiness. Prayer, holiness, and devotion keep our hearts awake while the world tries to lull us to sleep.
May this message stir our hearts to trust His timing, love His appearing, and stay focused on the promise that’s still ahead.
