TOPIC: THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH

READ: PSALM 122: 1-9 (NKJV)

122:1. A Song of Ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the LORD.”

122:2. Our feet have been standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem!

122:3. Jerusalem is built As a city that is compact together,

122:4. Where the tribes go up, The tribes of the LORD, To the Testimony of Israel, To give thanks to the name of the LORD.

122:5. For thrones are set there for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.

122:6. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.

122:7. Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces.”

122:8. For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, “Peace [be] within you.”

122:9. Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good.

THE MESSAGE:

Today is Advent Sunday. In the Christian Church calendar, this is the period of preparation for the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ at Christmas and also for the Second Coming of Christ. While waiting for the Second Coming, Christians are encouraged to be prepared to meet the Lord.

In our text, the Psalmist recounts the joy of being in the house of the Lord. The house of the Lord is a place of worship, not a social gathering or business transaction centre. It is a place where lives are moulded, sinners are convicted and saints are strengthened in the faith, in preparation to meet the Lord. As we commence another Advent season, we need to examine our attitude and motives in worship: Are we approaching God in order to receive momentary blessings or do we have eternity in view? Christ’s first coming was to save sinners; His Second Coming is to bring judgement on all men. Are you prepared for the coming of the Messiah?

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, help me worship You in Spirit and in truth as I await Your Second Coming. Amen
