The Center Of Christmas

A final gift suggestion is for us to desire, and to pray, for Jesus’ return. Our longing for Jesus’ return keeps our hearts longing for Him. In the same vein, to not look for Jesus’ return reveals that we are preoccupied elsewhere.

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.  2 Timothy 4:7—8

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.  Titus 2:11—14

So, let’s put Christ back in the center of Christmas by making Him our greatest holiday gift wish.  “Please come back soon Lord Jesus.”

Our Vision/Destination:
A Church Family where the Triangle will see, hear, & touch the diversity of God’s grace.
