The Day of His Coming
In this service of Advent we once again hear the prophet Malachi speak. He asks the very question we ask today, “Who can endure the day of His coming?” As we look at our world with its confusion and struggles, we might wonder what the world is coming to. Will wickedness increase? The Bible says it will, but that the Lord will return to judge and finally put an end to evil and sin. We don't know when the world will end or what it will come to in the meantime. But we sure know who will come to the world, and has come - Jesus Christ.

God has always and continually invited people from all around the world to His presence. The prophets give us a glimpse of what will be fully realized when Christ returns, but even now God's people enjoy the presence of the Lord in His Church through Word and Sacrament. We gather so that He may teach us His ways and forgive our sins, and we offer Him our worship and praise.

In reminding them, God is calling them back to Him in repentance. During this season of Advent, may we also repent and turn to God for our salvation.
