Advent 2019, day seventeen





Heaven is not an escape from, nor a reward for, life. Heaven is a realm meshed to our own, the earth; turning together, by the same key.

That key is Jesus.


O come, thou Key of David, come,
and open wide our heavenly home;
make safe the way that leads on high,
and close the path to misery:
Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.


The key is Jesus, already placed into our hands, entrusted, not for safekeeping but for use.

What will you open, what will you close, today?
