He left the Father's presence, vacated if you will, to be
with us, to share holiness with our common lives. I'm sure His Father
anticipated the moment when He and His son would be reunited.
He left the grave's presence, vacated if you will, to
intercede for us, to lead us in procession back to the Father. I’m sure the
Father anticipates our moment of being reunited with Him.
He left earth’s presence, our presence, vacated if you will,
to build a place for us so that we can, in the end, be reunited with Him and
with the Father. I’m sure the Father eagerly anticipates the moment when He will
say, “It’s time!”
Since all has been vacated, I choose to celebrate my Father’s
anticipation.
Emanuel, it is finished, He’s returning, it is time.
Maranatha!
