let’s keep on by our Lord’s Grace... to encourage one another,

surely, our redemption draweth nigh...

 

The spirit of Advent is expressed well in the parable of the bridesmaids who are anxiously awaiting the coming of the Bridegroom (Matt 25:1-13). There is profound joy at the Bridegroom’s expected coming. And yet a warning of the need for preparation echoes through the parable. But even then, the prayer of Advent is still:

 

Come, O Come, Emmanuel,

And ransom captive Israel!

soon and very soon... Come Lord Jesus
