If you’ve been following our two year Bible reading plan, when you first looked at December, you may have wondered how Revelation would fit into Advent — and truthfully, Advent is not only a season where we remember how Jesus came but serves as our reminder that He is coming again!
It has been really, really beautiful.
Here are a few verses you can reflect on as we remember His birth and wait with anticipation for His return:
“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also.”
– JOHN 14:3
They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”
– ACTS 1:10-11
“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.”
– TITUS 2:11-14
“So Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for Him.”
– HEBREWS 9:28
“And now, dear children, continue in Him, so that when He appears we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.”
– 1 JOHN 2:28
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”
– REVELATION 1:8
“He who testifies to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming soon.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.”
– REVELATION 22:20
