We will keep our eyes,
Fixed on Jesus.
Keep our eyes
Fixed on Jesus.
Keep our eyes
Fixed on Jesus,
Till he comes again.
“(Jesus continued teaching, saying) “But about that day or hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.””
This season is full of classics, old favorites. How does this one go? Frosty the Snowman, was a fairy tale they say ... He'll come back again some day."
I think the beauty of some of the popularized stories this time of year, is seeing that when we begin with Christ and God's promise, even these stories can point beyond themselves to the Savior. Each week of Advent as is my tradition, I will take such a look at one of these favorite stories.
As believers in The Christ we know the joy of fairy tales, and we know the joy of truth, God's truth filled with signs of hope and promise and grace and joy in The Story. We are blessed with the joy of the promise of Who will come back again one day in God's time, and so we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. For now we stand watch, we keep our eyes fixed, so we do not miss it, and we live our lives trusting in the promise of that unexpected hour, trusting in the One who will come back again one day!
Let us pray: God of eternal truth, I do not spend enough time digging into your story and your truth. I get caught up in the stories around me. Bless me again today and this Advent season in the signs of your promises in your Word. Your story is from eternity and for eternity. Truth is sure in the One who was and who will come again some day. Turn my heart and spirit to believe anew, to forever keep my eyes fixed on you, till you come again. Amen.
