the Now and Not Yet

The magic of Christmas is not in the presents... but in His Presence.

"I am with you in all that you do, in even the most menial task... However, your awareness of My Presence falters and flickers..." -Sarah Young, Jesus Calling

"Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which is translated, "God with us." -Matthew 1:23

"And, behold, I am coming quickly..." -Revelation 22:12

He is here with us.  And yet, He is coming again.  Such a paradox!  On this 2nd Sunday of Advent dwell on the reality and depth of the "now and not yet".
