Jesus’ coming… in the flesh
God has overwhelmed me this week, these past couple weeks. So much so, I do not think I can adequately write this Advent post. Lord willing, I am going to do my best. Advent is the unity of our expectation of the three comings of Christ: in the flesh in Bethlehem, in our hearts daily,…
