I'm not sure how best to describe it, but there is a real sense in which the early church, the New Testament writers in particular, had a strong, overwhelming anticipation for Christ's return. I have to honestly say that my life does not reflect that same excitement and passion; the real, palatable hope that today might be the Day! Rather Christ's return, while real and essential to my faith and theology, seems to have become more of an event on a timeline instead of a homecoming of epic proportions.
Maybe today's the day that 1) my anticipation can be refocused not just on Christ, but on his imminent return and 2) He may in fact return!
