H i e season of Advent, contrary to popular opinion, is not a time filled with frantic lists of greeting cards and presents—one that grows increasingly more hectic a s we approach the Christmas holi-days. Rather, it is a period of careful and serious preparation for the celebration of the greatest gift w e have ever received—the Gift of God Himself . Because the Infinite value of this GJt brings about a new response to God. Advent has become also a t ime when we look forward to when we shall be held finally accountable for our use of His Gin: we m a y explain the vivid. dd£cripil?c Imagery that surrounds the prophecies of the Second Coming and the Last Judgment, but we cannot escape the fact that we must answer for our l ives; if we refuse the Gift, we have shut God out of our exis-tence for all t ime. If we accept the Gift, we find a new everlasting relationship with God. Many people were unwilling to receive Jesus Christ two thousand years ago, and we have been ignoring Him ever since, but God grant that we shall be able to we lcome Him when He comes a s Judge; then there will be no second chance.
