Advent is as much about looking back as it is looking ahead—back to Christ’s incarnation, ahead to His return. Hebrews 9:28 tells us, “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.” The Christmas message when stripped of its cultural overtones and traditions is relatively simple: God came to earth in the form of a man, and He will return again. Jesus’ return points us to Heaven. You may ask; “What is Heaven like?” Well, whatever you can imagine—Heaven is better.
“Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is.”
-1 John 3:2-
