PDF Title: Here He Comes!
Author: Ronald Christian
Summary#
Here He Comes! is a Christian Advent and Christmas devotional work by Ron Christian that presents the coming of Christ as God’s supreme communication with humanity and the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan. The book maintains that Jesus’ incarnation reveals God’s love more clearly than nature, conscience, law, prophecy, or any other form of divine witness, because in Christ the Word became flesh and entered human suffering, loneliness, temptation, and death. Christian contends that Christmas must not be sentimentalized apart from the cross, since Jesus was born to identify with sinners, provide atonement, and call all people to repentance, faith, worship, and surrender. The work also explores how people respond to Christ, contrasting hostility, indifference, and adoring worship, while emphasizing that Christ’s genealogy and earthly ministry show God’s concern for women, outcasts, Gentiles, sinners, and all who are broken or despised. Throughout the chapters, Christian connects Christ’s first coming with His present spiritual reign and His promised return, calling believers to rejoice, behold, prepare, reconcile, witness, wonder, worship, and live in readiness for the coming King.
