John begins this final letter in our bibles with a wonderful description of Jesus: "To Him who loves us and has set us free from our sins by His blood,". What a wonderful introduction and description!

We end every year reading Revelation. It is a great way to end each year and to think about Christ's second coming! It is also a great time to celebrate Jesus first coming at Christmas. This season is ripe with significance and meaning. Let's not get caught up in the activity of the season and totally miss the greatest thing of all…mainly Christ.

Certainly the time is "near". If John thought it urgent to write about Christ's return over 2000 years ago, how much closer are we today? Is this the final season to celebrate? Will this be the final advent? We do know this, we are one day closer today.

Live with the end in mind.
